Mumbai Police have apprehended three accused in the firing incident targeting actor Tiger Shroff, with investigators tracing their escape route from Mumbai to Kota via Surat, DCP Rajtilak Roushan said during a press briefing on Monday.
The accused allegedly abandoned a motorcycle near Andheri West, travelled to Borivali by local train, took an app-based cab to Surat and boarded the Pune-Jaipur Express before police tracked them to Kota. The accused were planning to travel to Nepal via Delhi by bus from Jaipur.
The three men accused of firing planned their escape through multiple modes of transport, hoping to evade the police after the attack. But CCTV footage, technical analysis and field investigation helped the Mumbai Crime Branch reconstruct their movements and alert Rajasthan Police, leading to their arrest at Kota railway station.
CCTV footage from Mumbai’s Andheri West railway station, where the accused in the Tiger Shroff firing case were reportedly spotted at 7.06 pm. The man wearing a USPA T-shirt is accused Ritik, the one in the centre is Phool Singh, and the man looking to the left is Rehan.
DCP Rajtilak Roushan of the Mumbai Crime Branch said around 20 special teams were formed to investigate the firing incident, which took place in Mumbai's Juhu area around 7 pm on Sunday.
