Three men allegedly involved in the firing attack on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff have been arrested at Rajasthan’s Kota railway station. The incident took place in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening, when three men on a motorcycle allegedly opened fire at the actor’s car as he was leaving a football ground. Tiger escaped without any gunshot wounds, but his driver was injured.

Three accused arrested at Kota railway station

According to NDTV report, the three suspects were arrested at Kota railway station in Rajasthan while travelling by train. Two of the accused are reportedly from Haryana, while the third is from Maharashtra.




The men are suspected of being involved in the shooting outside the football ground in Juhu. They have also been reported to have links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. However, the alleged association and the motive behind the attack remain matters for investigators to establish.

The arrests mark a major development in the investigation.

Investigators suspect Tiger Shroff’s movements were tracked

According to news agency ANI, investigating agencies suspect the shooters had conducted reconnaissance before carrying out the attack. Sources cited by the agency said the accused allegedly monitored Tiger’s routine and knew that he regularly visited a football ground in Juhu on Sundays.

The suspects reportedly timed the attack for when the actor was leaving the venue in his car. Three men riding a motorcycle allegedly opened fire at the vehicle, injuring Tiger’s driver. The actor reportedly escaped without gunshot wounds, although he sustained minor injuries from gunpowder and broken glass.

Investigators are also examining the route the suspects allegedly took after the shooting. According to reports, they travelled along SV Road through Vile Parle and Andheri before abandoning their motorcycle near Andheri West railway station. They then reportedly boarded a train towards Borivali.

Preliminary intelligence cited in ANI’s report suggested that the suspects later crossed into neighbouring Gujarat while attempting to evade law enforcement. Their movements across locations are expected to form part of the ongoing investigation.
