Tiger Shroff Car Firing: 4 More Suspects Brought to Mumbai's Anti-Extortion Cell
Mumbai Police intensify the probe into the Tiger Shroff car firing incident as four more suspects are brought in from Delhi.
The investigation into the shocking Tiger Shroff car firing incident has intensified as the Mumbai Police expand their crackdown on the perpetrators. On Thursday, four additional accused individuals were transported from Delhi to Mumbai and brought before the city's Anti-Extortion Cell for further interrogation.
Delhi Arrests and Police Custody
The Delhi Police apprehended four suspects in connection with the attack: Kunal, aged 21, and Sumit, aged 19, along with two women, Radha and Babita, both 23. Upon their arrival in Mumbai, the two female suspects were placed at the Azad Maidan police station.
This move follows a series of rapid developments in the case. Just a day prior, on Wednesday, the Anti-Extortion Cell produced three other suspects before the Esplanade Court. These individuals had been brought to Mumbai from Kota, Rajasthan, arriving in the early hours of the morning. Following mandatory medical examinations, the court granted police custody of these three suspects until October 31.
The Scale of the Investigation
The net is tightening around those involved in the attack. In addition to the Delhi arrests, the Mumbai Police have already detained seven individuals from Haryana. In total, police are currently treating 10 individuals as suspects. Authorities stated that critical leads gathered during the ongoing investigation were instrumental in identifying and tracking down these suspects across different states.
Recapping the Incident
The terrifying event unfolded on a Sunday evening around 7 pm in the Juhu area of Mumbai. The attack occurred just as actor Tiger Shroff was departing from a football club. Gunfire targeted the actor's vehicle; while Tiger Shroff managed to escape the incident unhurt, his driver unfortunately sustained injuries during the firing.
Warning Against Misinformation
Amidst the chaos and high-profile nature of the crime, the actor's representatives have stepped in to control the narrative. On Tuesday, Tiger Shroff's team issued a stern warning to the public and the media regarding the spread of misinformation.
The team highlighted a rise in fabricated stories, unauthorized statements, and the emergence of AI-generated videos falsely attributed to the actor. In an official social media statement, "Team Tiger" clarified that the actor has not released any videos or authorized any communication regarding the firing incident or the subsequent police developments.
The representatives have urged media houses and social media users to verify all information before sharing it, warning that legal action will be initiated against anyone creating or promoting such deceptive content.
