What Police Suspect About The Tiger Shroff Firing
According to Mumbai Police, the firing took place at around 7 pm on Sunday as Tiger Shroff was leaving a football club in Mumbai’s Juhu area. The accused allegedly opened fire at his car.
Sources in the Mumbai Police Crime Branch suspect that the attack was planned in advance. Investigators believe the alleged shooters had carried out reconnaissance of Shroff’s movements and were aware of his reported Sunday visits to the Juhu football ground.
The suspects allegedly timed the attack as the actor was leaving the venue. Following the firing, they are believed to have travelled along SV Road through Vile Parle and Andheri before abandoning their motorcycle near Andheri West railway station and boarding a train towards Borivali.
Preliminary intelligence suggests that the men subsequently crossed the Maharashtra border in an attempt to evade law enforcement.
Accused Allegedly Planned To Escape To Nepal
During preliminary questioning, the three men reportedly told police they intended to travel to Delhi before making their way to Nepal. The plan, investigators believe, was to avoid being traced after the alleged shooting in Mumbai.
The suspects are expected to be handed over to Mumbai Police for further investigation. Detailed questioning is likely to provide greater clarity about the alleged planning, the suspects’ movements and their roles in the firing incident.
