The investigation into the firing on Tiger Shroff’s car in Juhu has widened well beyond Mumbai. On Thursday, four accused were brought from Delhi to the Anti-Extortion Cell, and the police now say 10 people are under suspicion in the attack.
Arrests across states
Delhi Police arrested Kunal (21), Sumit (19), Radha (23) and Babita (23) in connection with the firing. The four were transferred to the Anti-Extortion Cell in Mumbai on Thursday; the two women were kept at Azad Maidan police station.
Mumbai Police then said seven more individuals had been arrested from Haryana after leads from the investigation pointed to them. The arrests bring the number under suspicion to 10, according to the police.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Anti-Extortion Cell produced three accused before the Esplanade Court. They had been brought from Kota, Rajasthan, around 3 am, and were produced after medical examinations. The court granted police custody of all three until October 31.
- Four accused brought from Delhi to the Anti-Extortion Cell.
- Seven further arrests in Haryana.
- Three earlier accused from Kota remanded to police custody until October 31.
- Shroff escaped unhurt; his driver was injured.
The incident
The firing occurred around 7 pm on Sunday while Shroff was leaving a football club in Juhu. The actor escaped unhurt; his driver sustained injuries. That the investigation now stretches across Mumbai, Delhi, Rajasthan and Haryana shows how seriously the police are treating a targeted attack on a Hindi film star.
Team Tiger’s AI warning
On Tuesday, Team Tiger issued a warning against fabricated stories, unauthorised statements and AI-generated videos falsely attributed to the actor. The team asked media organisations and platforms to verify before publishing and said legal action may be initiated against individuals and pages creating or circulating such content.
In its statement, Team Tiger said Shroff “had not issued any statements, released any videos or authorised any communication” concerning the firing or related developments.
The warning matters because unverified clips can travel faster than official facts during a fast-moving police case. Readers should rely on official statements while the Anti-Extortion Cell consolidates its investigation.
The custody order gives investigators until October 31 to interrogate the three accused produced before the Esplanade Court. With four accused now in Mumbai from Delhi and seven more arrested in Haryana, the case is being treated as wider than a single Juhu incident.
For Hindi cinema watchers, the firing is not just a crime bulletin. It raises questions about star security in Mumbai and about how quickly synthetic media can fill the gap before verified details emerge.
That makes the next few days key: further court production of the newly arrested accused, and any response from Team Tiger to the content still circulating online.
