Tiger Shroff Firing Case: 3 Accused Caught Within 24 Hours; Mumbai Police Track Suspects From Andheri to Rajasthan's Kota

Mumbai, October 19, 2026: In a swift operation spanning multiple states, Mumbai Police tracked down three suspects allegedly involved in the firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car in Juhu. The accused were detained at Kota railway station in Rajasthan on Monday morning, less than 24 hours after the shooting.

The operation involved nearly 20 special teams formed by the Mumbai Crime Branch, along with intelligence-sharing and coordination with Rajasthan Police.

Firing Outside Football Club Leaves Two Injured

The incident occurred around 7 pm on Sunday, October 18, when Tiger Shroff was leaving a football club in Mumbai.

According to police, the actor was waving to fans from his car when armed attackers opened fire. Video footage reportedly shows two men firing towards the vehicle while a third waited nearby on a motorcycle.

The three suspects subsequently fled on the motorcycle.

Tiger Shroff escaped unhurt, but his driver and an autorickshaw driver sustained injuries during the incident.

Abandoned Motorcycle Helps Police Track Suspects

Following the shooting, Mumbai Crime Branch formed approximately 20 teams to identify and locate the attackers.

Investigators traced the motorcycle allegedly used in the crime, which had been abandoned near Andheri West railway station.

Using technical surveillance and other investigative leads, police established that the suspects had travelled outside Mumbai.

Investigators subsequently received information indicating that the accused were travelling towards Rajasthan by train.

Mumbai Crime Branch shared the details with Rajasthan Police, enabling officers to intercept the suspects.

Three Accused Detained at Kota Railway Station

According to police, the three suspects were travelling in a general compartment of the Pune-Jaipur Superfast Express when they were intercepted at Kota railway station.

The train reportedly arrived at Kota at approximately 10:17 am on Monday, where local police detained all three men.

Investigators said the accused, who are reportedly from Bihar and Haryana, were heading towards Delhi and allegedly intended to escape to Nepal.

A Mumbai Crime Branch team subsequently took custody of the suspects for further questioning.

₹50,000 Advance Allegedly Paid for Attack

Police sources have claimed that the three suspects collectively received an advance payment of ₹50,000 to carry out the shooting.

Investigators are examining the alleged financial arrangement and attempting to identify those who may have planned or financed the attack.

Sources also indicated that the suspects communicated and shared location details using encrypted messaging applications such as Signal and Telegram.

However, the firearm allegedly used in the shooting had not been recovered at the time of the reported arrests.

Anti-Extortion Squad Investigating Possible Conspiracy

The investigation has been transferred to the Mumbai Crime Branch's Anti-Extortion Squad.

Officers are examining the sequence of events, the suspects' individual roles, the alleged motive and whether additional individuals were involved in planning the attack.

Police are also investigating the source of the alleged advance payment and the suspects' movements following the shooting.

While all three suspects have been detained, investigators have yet to establish whether each directly participated in the firing.

Further developments are expected as police continue questioning the accused and searching for the weapon.
