Tiger Shroff Firing Case: 'Son Left Home Months Ago,' Says Distressed Father
The father of the minor accused in the Tiger Shroff firing case reveals his son had disappeared months ago and details their family's struggles.
In a shocking turn of events following the Tiger Shroff firing case, the father of the minor accused has come forward, claiming he had no knowledge of his son's whereabouts or activities for nearly two months. The family, currently grappling with extreme financial hardship and emotional distress, says they only discovered the crime when the police contacted them.
A Father's Grief and Poverty
Speaking to ANI, the father described a life of struggle. A daily-wage labourer with a certified 50 per cent physical disability, he revealed that he is barely educated, having studied only up to Class 4. He expressed profound shock over the incident, stating that he has been unable to eat since learning about his son's involvement in the attack on the Bollywood star.
The father shared that his son previously worked as a tile layer. He recalled the last time he saw the boy, noting that he had gone to a fair on the 13th and 14th, after which he vanished without a word. "I do not know why he left or where he went," the father lamented, emphasizing that he had no information regarding the people his son was associating with during his disappearance.
A History of Trouble
While this is the first time the family has been linked to a violent crime, the father admitted that this was not the first time his son had strayed into illegality. He revealed a previous incident involving motorcycle theft that led to the boy's arrest.
The father recounted how he had questioned his son at the time and warned him against such behavior. He also mentioned a financial loss incurred during that legal ordeal, stating that the money spent was never recovered and the matter remained unresolved in his eyes.
The Night of the Attack
The incident that has sent shockwaves through the industry occurred around 7 pm on a Sunday in Mumbai's Juhu area. According to the Mumbai Police, the attack took place just as Tiger Shroff was departing from a football club. The accused allegedly opened fire at the actor's vehicle.
While Tiger Shroff fortunately escaped direct gunshot injuries, the actor's driver was injured during the assault.
Police Action and Legal Charges
The investigation led the authorities to Kota, where the Kota City Police apprehended three individuals, including the juvenile, while they were traveling on a train.
The police have registered a formal case under the following legal frameworks:
- Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS): Sections 109(1) and 3(5).
- Arms Act: Sections 3 and 25.
As the investigation continues, authorities are working to determine the motive behind the attack and whether there were other conspirators involved in the targeting of the actor.
