NEW DELHI, OCT 20: Four persons have been arrested in connection with a firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, following coordinated legal proceedings involving the Delhi Police Special Cell and the Maharashtra Police’s Crime Investigation Department (CID), Mumbai.
The accused have been identified as Kunal (21), Sumit (19), Radha (23) and Babita (23). According to Delhi Police, the four were apprehended by the Special Cell’s New Delhi Range (NDR) in connection with the case and were subsequently brought before a court in Delhi for legal proceedings.
The accused were initially produced before the court through a Kalandra under Section 35(1)(b) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). Thereafter, officials from the Maharashtra Police’s CID, Mumbai, approached the court seeking permission to interrogate the accused in custody and formally arrest them in connection with the firing case.
After examining the application, the court granted permission for custodial interrogation and formal arrest. Following the court’s approval, the Maharashtra Police formally arrested all four accused, marking a significant development in the investigation into the incident targeting the Bollywood actor.
Subsequently, the Mumbai Police team filed another application seeking three days of transit remand to take the accused to Mumbai for further investigation and necessary legal proceedings. The court allowed the application, enabling the investigating team to proceed with the transfer of the accused to Maharashtra.
The development highlights the inter-state coordination between the Delhi Police Special Cell and the Maharashtra Police in pursuing the case. While the arrests and transit remand mark progress in the investigation, further questioning of the accused is expected to assist investigators in establishing the sequence of events, determining the alleged roles of those arrested and examining other aspects of the firing incident.
The case remains under investigation. Further details regarding the circumstances of the firing, the alleged motive behind the incident and the individual roles of the accused were not specified in the information released by the Delhi Police Special Cell.
