Tiger Shroff firing case: Delhi Police detain 3 women suspected of supplying arms to shooter

NEW DELHI: Delhi Police have detained three women in connection with the alleged assassination attempt on actor Tiger Shroff and handed them over to Mumbai Police for further investigation. The women are suspected of supplying arms to the shooter allegedly involved in the case.

They were detained in Delhi before being handed over to Mumbai Police, which is probing the firing incident. Further details about the women's alleged roles and their links to the shooter are awaited.

Earlier on Monday, Mumbai Police has taken custody of three suspects arrested in Rajasthan’s Kota in connection with the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff’s car. A local court granted the police a 48-hour transit remand, allowing a Maharashtra Police team to take the accused to Mumbai for further investigation.

Mumbai Police reportedly adopted an alternative strategy, dubbed ‘Plan B’, to transport the three suspects. They were kept at the Railway Colony police station in Kota overnight.

Visuals from the police station showed tight security arrangements, with teams from the Mumbai Police Crime Branch and Rajasthan Police maintaining a security cordon around the premises. According to reports, Mumbai Police received instructions to follow ‘Plan B’ while transporting the accused.

The police subsequently changed their original plan to take them to Mumbai overnight and decided to keep them in Kota. Speaking on the matter, Ramswaroop Meena, SHO of Railway Colony police station, said the three accused had been granted a 48-hour transit remand and were being transported to Mumbai by Maharashtra Police.

The case pertains to the firing incident that took place around 7 pm on Sunday in Mumbai’s Juhu area, when Tiger Shroff was leaving a football club. The accused allegedly opened fire at the actor’s car.

While Shroff escaped direct gunshot injuries, his driver sustained injuries in the incident. According to police, the accused were apprehended while travelling on a train.

A case has been registered under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act.(With Agency Inputs)You Can Also Check: Gold Rate in Delhi | Silver Rate in Delhi | Bank Holidays in Delhi | Public Holidays in Delhi | Delhi AQI | Weather in Delhi | Petrol Price in Delhi | Diesel Price in Delhi | CNG Price in Delhi | LPG Price in Delhi Stay updated with the latest Delhi news.
