- All three accused arrested in Tiger Shroff firing case.
- They used Signal/Telegram, contacted handler for coordination.
- Rehan recruited minor, Hrithik helped; planned to flee Nepal.
- Kota police arrested them on train; handed to Mumbai team.
The Tiger Shroff firing case has taken a significant turn following the arrest of all three accused, with investigators uncovering details of their communication network and roles in the conspiracy. The three accused – one of whom is a minor – were reportedly in contact with a handler and regularly exchanged messages and shared locations through Signal and Telegram.
The officials are examining whether the handler was Anil Pandit himself or someone close to him who was coordinating with the shooters. The digital footprints during the probe indicate that Rehan was in contact with Anil Pandit.
According to the investigation, Hrithik Kumar, Rehan and a minor have been arrested. Rehan allegedly recruited a minor from Sonipat to be part of the conspiracy, while Hrithik, who was already in Mumbai, allegedly provided logistical support to Rehan and the minor shooter.
Accused Tried To Flee To Nepal
All three accused in the Tiger Shroff firing case were arrested by Kota City Police while travelling aboard the Pune-Jaipur Superfast Express. They were arrested at Kota Junction at around 10:17 am after police searched the train in a 15-minute operation based on inputs received from Mumbai Police.

According to Kota SP Tejaswini Gautam, the accused had allegedly planned to travel by bus from Jaipur to Delhi before fleeing to Nepal. Police said no weapons were recovered from them during the operation.
Gautam said a Mumbai Police team had arrived in Kota and the three accused would be handed over to them for further investigation.
Tiger Shroff Firing Incident
The incident took place at around 7 pm as Tiger Shroff was leaving Pushpa Park in Juhu after a football match. The accused were allegedly waiting for him and opened fire as soon as they spotted his BMW. Several rounds were fired before the accused fled on a motorcycle with a third person. One of the accused reportedly attempted to shoot the actor at point-blank range, but his gun jammed.
The actor’s driver, Firdaus, sustained injuries. Tiger reportedly switched seats with him and drove him to Nanavati Hospital. Another person, identified as 35-year-old Umesh Chauhan, suffered a bullet wound to his abdomen and was admitted to the hospital for treatment.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that no one involved would be spared and assured that those responsible for the firing at the actor’s car would be arrested soon.
Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Tiger at his residence to enquire about his well-being. Photographs from the meeting showed the actor shirtless, with visible injury marks on his body. Reports also suggested that he sustained burns on his hand from gunpowder during the firing.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the attack. In a Facebook post and a widely circulated audio clip, the group reportedly warned that those who failed to meet its demands or continued working with Salman Khan could face similar consequences. Following the incident, security outside Salman Khan’s residence was increased.
