Tiger Shroff's car was targeted by unidentified assailants who opened fire in Mumbai's Juhu area. Three accused have been arrested in connection with the firing incident targeting the actor's car. The accused have been identified as Phool Singh, Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan, and Rehan alias Sukka. One of the accused, Hrithik Kumar, allegedly used the alias Roshan, sharing a name with Tiger's War co-star Hrithik Roshan.
According to a report by ANI, the three accused who have been detained are identified as follows: a 17-year-old resident of Sonepat in Haryana; Hrithik Kumar, alias Roshan, 22, originally from Bihar and currently residing in Andheri West, Mumbai; and Rehan, 18, a resident of Sonepat district in Haryana.
To note, one of the primary shooters arrested was identified by authorities as 22-year-old Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan, an uncanny real-life echo of Tiger Shroff's War co-star, Hrithik Roshan.
According to the preliminary details, the accused, Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan, is the son of Ramu Mahto and hails from Piprai in Bihar's Begusarai district. Roshan was reportedly residing near Urdu School in Gill Barli, Andheri West, Mumbai, and working as a Rapido rider.
As one of the accused was suspected to be a minor, a senior police official, while giving details at a press conference in Mumbai in the evening, denied earlier reports. "One is 18 years old and the other two are 22 years old," said Deputy Commissioner of Police Raj Tilak Roshan.
The case pertains to the firing that took place around 7 pm on Sunday in the Juhu area of Mumbai, when actor Tiger Shroff was leaving a football club. The accused allegedly opened fire at the actor's car. Although the actor escaped direct gunshot injuries, his driver sustained injuries in the incident.
According to the police, the accused were caught while travelling on a train. A case has been registered under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act. Further investigation is underway.
Following the attack on Tiger Shroff, in which shots were fired at his vehicle in Juhu, security at Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments has been tightened.
