Tiger Shroff Was Just 'Plan B': Police Reveal Shocking Twist in Firing Case
Mumbai Police reveal a shocking twist in the Tiger Shroff firing case, claiming the actor was a secondary target after another star's security proved too tight.
A chilling revelation has emerged from the Mumbai Crime Branch regarding the recent attack on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. According to investigators, the actor was not the original target of the gunmen; instead, he became a target of opportunity when a plot against another high-profile celebrity failed.
The Failed Plot and the Shift in Target
The Mumbai Police have disclosed that three shooters had initially planned to attack a different, prominent Bollywood celebrity. However, the assassins found themselves thwarted by the celebrity's stringent security measures, which made it impossible for them to get close enough to execute their plan.
Frustrated by the tight security of their primary target, the shooters shifted their focus. The Crime Branch stated that the attackers decided to target Tiger Shroff, believing he would be a much easier mark. This pivot led to the violent encounter that left the actor's vehicle under fire.
The Night of the Attack
The incident unfolded around 7 pm on Sunday in the Juhu area of Mumbai. Tiger Shroff was leaving a football club when the accused opened fire on his car. While the actor miraculously escaped direct gunshot injuries, his driver was not as fortunate and sustained injuries during the assault.
The Manhunt and Arrest in Rajasthan
The police pursuit led them far from Maharashtra, eventually tracking down the suspects in Kota, Rajasthan. The three accused were apprehended while traveling on a train. Following their arrest, a local court granted the Maharashtra Police a 48-hour transit remand to bring the suspects back to Mumbai for interrogation.
The Mysterious 'Plan B'
The transport of the suspects involved a strategic shift by the Mumbai Police. Reports indicate that the authorities executed an alternative strategy, referred to as 'Plan B,' regarding the movement of the prisoners. Instead of transporting the accused to Mumbai overnight as originally planned, the police decided to hold them at the Railway Colony police station in Kota.
Visuals from the station showed a heavy security presence, with a joint cordon maintained by the Rajasthan Police and the Mumbai Police Crime Branch to ensure the suspects remained secure.
"The three accused have been granted a 48-hour transit remand and are being transported to Mumbai by the Maharashtra Police," explained Ramswaroop Meena, SHO at the Railway Colony Police Station.
Legal Action and Ongoing Probe
The Mumbai Police have registered a formal case against the attackers. The charges include:
- Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
- Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act.
As the investigation continues, the police are working to uncover the identity of the "prominent celebrity" who was the original target and the motives behind this daring attack on Bollywood stars.
