Investigation Reveals Initial Target in Tiger Shroff Shooting Was Another Celebrity

Mumbai, October 20 (Daily Kiran) : Police investigations into the recent shooting incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff have revealed startling new details. Initially, the attackers had planned to target a different celebrity before shifting their focus to Shroff. Reports indicate that the assailants could not reach their original target, prompting them to aim for Shroff instead.

During preliminary questioning, investigators discovered that the suspects monitored Shroff’s activities through social media. They tracked his movements and police protection by analyzing posts and reels shared on Instagram. However, the identity of the original target remains undisclosed.

The investigation suggests that the attackers intended not just to harm the actor but to instill fear within the Bollywood community. Authorities are probing how the plot was conceived, how the suspects gathered information, and whether anyone else was involved in the conspiracy.

The incident occurred in the Juhu area of Mumbai. According to police, Shroff was leaving a football match in his car when multiple shots were fired at him, causing panic in the vicinity. In response to the severity of the situation, police launched an investigation and began searching for the perpetrators.

Three individuals, identified as Rehan, Phool Singh, and Hrithik Kumar, were arrested in Kota, Rajasthan. They face serious charges, including attempted murder. Investigators recovered five empty cartridges and two live rounds from the scene. It was noted that Rehan’s weapon jammed, leading to the dropping of two cartridges. Initially, Phool Singh was reported to be a minor, but Mumbai police later clarified that he is an adult.

The investigation continues as police seek to uncover more details about the attack and the motives behind it.
