Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff was attacked on Sunday, October 18th. Three accused have been arrested in this horrific case. Mumbai Police received a 48-hour transit remand for the suspects late yesterday evening. After the transit remand was granted and the medical examination was completed, the Mumbai Police set out to take the suspects with them. However, after traveling a short distance, they realized they were being followed by a vehicle, so they took the suspects back to Kota city.
However, it later became clear that some media vehicles were following behind. There were several train options at night, but the accused were not transported by Rajdhani or other trains. Several flights were scheduled for Mumbai from Indore and Jaipur this morning, but for security reasons, the accused were kept overnight at the Railway Colony Police Station in Kota. The entire police station has been transformed into a cantonment. Rajasthan Police commandos are deployed for security. It is expected that the Mumbai Police will take the accused by road within the next one and a half to two hours. The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway may be used to reach Mumbai.
