Mumbai police invoke the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against people accused in the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Sources say investigators are treating the case as linked to organised crime, including extortion motives and possible connections to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, and warn it may form part of a wider conspiracy across states.
Reports across outlets describe the alleged attack on October 18, when two men fired at least five to six rounds at Shroff’s car before fleeing on a motorcycle. Police say the vehicle was later found abandoned in Andheri. Several accused, including Kunal, Sumit, Radha and Babita, are reported to have been arrested in Delhi and brought to Mumbai, with courts remanding them in police custody until October 28.
Coverage also focuses on alleged planning and evidence. Multiple reports cite mobile-phone-based material such as voice notes and messaging, along with claims that some accused made efforts to conceal identities, including saving numbers under aliases and using forged documents for hotel bookings. Other outlets add that investigators suspect shooters considered targeting Aamir Khan but switched to Shroff, amid prior threat allegations involving the Bishnoi group. Some reporting further mentions a planned “return” of weapons that investigators say failed, including an alleged discard in Surat.
