Tiger Shroff Firing Case: How Shooters Changed Escape Plan After Missing Surat-Delhi Bus

The Mumbai Crime Branch, which is investigating the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, has revealed that the shooters had initially planned to travel by bus from Surat to Delhi, and to then travel to Nepal. However, their plan reportedly failed after they reached the bus stand to find that the bus to Delhi had already departed.

Shooters change escape plan After the shooters missed their bus, the alleged mastermind, Anil Pandit, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, allegedly activated Plan B, TV9 Marathi reported. Pandit allegedly sent fresh instructions to the shooters through a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) call routed through another arrested accused, Ankit Khatak.

Accused board Pune–Jaipur Express Following Pandit’s instructions, the accused allegedly travelled to Surat railway station in an auto-rickshaw and boarded the Pune–Jaipur Express at around 1.33 am.

The three accused — Phool Singh, Rehan Ansari and Hrithik Kumar — reportedly hid the two firearms allegedly used in the shooting, along with the ammunition, in an open area near the Surat bus stand before boarding the train. They allegedly feared that the weapons could be discovered during police checks on the train.
