Tiger Shroff Firing Case: Four More Arrested in Mumbai Shooting

Tiger Shroff Firing Case: Four More Arrested as Police Probe Weapon Supply Network
Tiger Shroff Shooting Case: Four More Suspects Arrested
Mumbai, October 21, 2026: The investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff has taken a significant turn, with the arrest of four additional suspects allegedly linked to the supply of weapons and logistical support for the attack.
The accused have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, from Haryana's Sonipat district, and Radha, 23, and Babita, 23, from Uttar Pradesh. The arrests were made by the Delhi Police Special Cell in Delhi and Haryana on October 20, following which Maharashtra Police sought their custody for further interrogation.
Investigators suspect that the four played supporting roles in the alleged operation, including arranging weapons, transporting firearms and assisting those involved in the shooting. Their precise individual roles remain subject to investigation.
The arrests follow the earlier apprehension of three alleged shooters in Rajasthan, taking the investigation beyond the immediate attackers to the wider network suspected of facilitating the incident.
How the Alleged Weapon Supply Network Operated
According to investigators, Radha and Babita allegedly travelled by train to Mumbai carrying a firearm and ammunition before handing them over to a person connected with the operation. Police are examining the alleged movement of the weapon from Punjab to Mumbai and the role of intermediaries who may have coordinated its delivery.
Investigators are also looking into the suspected use of encrypted messaging applications to communicate and coordinate activities among individuals allegedly involved in the operation.
The investigation has extended across several states as police reconstruct the movement of the suspects, the transportation of the weapon and the arrangements made before and after the shooting.
Authorities are working to establish who supplied the firearm, who organised the alleged operation and whether additional individuals helped the accused evade arrest.
Salman Khan Reportedly Considered an Earlier Target
A new angle in the investigation concerns reports that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan may have been the original target before the alleged attackers shifted their focus to Tiger Shroff.
According to police sources cited in media reports, the suspects allegedly conducted reconnaissance near Khan's residence in Mumbai but reconsidered their plan because of the stringent security arrangements. Shroff was reportedly selected as an alternative target.
These claims have not been established through a final judicial finding, and the investigation is continuing to determine the motive behind the attack.
The reported connection has renewed attention on security concerns involving prominent Bollywood personalities, particularly amid investigations into threats and alleged criminal networks targeting celebrities.
Police are examining whether the suspected operation was connected to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Any alleged association or motive will need to be established through evidence gathered during the investigation.
What Happened During the October 18 Firing Incident?
The shooting took place on October 18 in Mumbai's Juhu area, when armed assailants allegedly opened fire at Tiger Shroff's car. The actor survived the incident, while reports indicated that his driver and a passerby were injured.
The incident triggered a major police investigation, including examination of CCTV footage, identification of the alleged attackers and efforts to trace their movements after the shooting.
Three alleged shooters were subsequently apprehended in Rajasthan's Kota as police tracked their movements across locations. Investigators are now examining whether the additional suspects helped arrange weapons, provide logistical assistance or facilitate the escape of those allegedly involved.
The case has raised questions about the planning behind the attack, the movement of illegal firearms across state borders and the security arrangements surrounding high-profile public figures.
Police Investigation Continues Across Multiple States
With seven arrests reported so far, investigators are working to establish the complete chain of responsibility behind the shooting. The latest arrests are particularly significant because they may help investigators understand how the alleged weapon supply network operated beyond the immediate crime scene.
Police are expected to question the accused about their communications, contacts and alleged involvement in transporting firearms and supporting the suspects.
Investigators are also examining the possible motive, the reported connection to organised criminal networks and the claim that another celebrity was initially considered a target.
The case remains under investigation, and the allegations against the arrested individuals have yet to be tested through judicial proceedings.
As the probe advances, further findings may clarify whether the shooting was an isolated attack or part of a wider planned operation targeting a Bollywood personality.
