Tiger Shroff firing case: Accused from Haryana was out on bail in Arms Act case, father says

One of the three men arrested in Rajasthan for allegedly opening fire at actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai was out on bail in an Arms Act case, his father said, according to a PTI report.

Rehan, who is from Haryana’s Sonipat district, had been arrested in a case related to a gun a few months ago, his father Raisuddin told reporters on Monday.

He said Rehan’s mother, who works in a factory, had arranged bail for him.


“He has not been living with me for nearly 10 years... He has been living with his mother in Devdu village,” Raisuddin said, blaming his son’s friend circle for his alleged involvement in the case.

Rehan’s maternal aunt, Afsana, said he had told her over a fortnight ago that he was learning welding work in Gurugram.

The three accused, including Rehan and Ritik alias Roshan from Bihar’s Begusarai, were arrested from the general coach of the Pune-Jaipur Superfast Express when it stopped at Kota in Rajasthan at 10.17 am, Kota Superintendent of Police Tejaswani Gautam said, as reported by PTI.

The father of another accused, who is from Baroda village in Sonipat, said he did not know how his son had reached Mumbai.

The labourer said his son had left home nearly a month earlier and was learning tile work in Gohana.

Mumbai Police Deputy Commissioner of Police Raj Tilak Roshan said one of the three accused was 18 years old, while the other two were 22.

Two of them had fired five to six rounds at Shroff’s car, he said.

Police also said Rehan was in touch with Anil Pandit, an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which claimed responsibility for the firing in an unverified social media post.

The incident took place in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening. Shroff escaped relatively unhurt, while his driver and a bystander sustained injuries.

The firing was captured on video.
