More than a week after the firing on his car in Juhu, Tiger Shroff is still trying to understand why he was targeted. According to NDTV, citing sources, he told investigators he is struggling to process the incident. He is quoted as saying he is in deep shock and wondering who would carry out such an attack on him, adding that he has no enmity with anyone. He has not yet given his formal statement to the police. These remarks come from sources, not an on-record statement. indiatwaslnews
Police have begun to describe how the shooters tried to leave. According to the investigation, the three accused, Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan (22) from Bihar, Rehan (18) from Haryana and Phool Singh (18), first planned to travel by bus from Surat to Delhi and then cross into Nepal. They reached the bus stand after the bus had already left. twaslnews
Investigators suspect the attack was orchestrated by Anil Pandit, an alleged member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang who has reportedly claimed responsibility for the firing. After the bus was missed, he allegedly activated a Plan B and sent fresh instructions through VoIP calls via another arrested accused, Ankit Khatak. These are police allegations, and the accused have not been convicted. indiabloomstwaslnews
Hidden Guns and a Night Train
The accused allegedly travelled to Surat Railway Station by auto-rickshaw and boarded the Pune-Jaipur Express at about 1:33 am. Before boarding, they allegedly hid the firearms and ammunition in an open area near the Surat bus stand, fearing police checks. Plan B, as described by police, was to get off before the train reached Jaipur’s main station, find a bus or taxi, and continue by road to Delhi before crossing into Nepal. The Mumbai Crime Branch reportedly tracked their movements through CCTV footage from the Surat bus stand and railway station. The three were arrested in Kota, Rajasthan, a day after the attack. indiabloomsindiablooms
Handlers Watching the News
Police sources say the attackers were allegedly guided by handlers who tracked news channel reports on the investigation, which let the gunmen change getaway routes after the shooting. Police have also detained an 11th suspect from Indore, according to reports. twaslnews
The Attack
The firing took place around 7 pm on October 18 as Shroff returned from a football session. Two men on a motorcycle reportedly fired five to six rounds at his car. Shroff, seated in the front passenger seat, escaped without injuries, while his driver and a vlogger were injured. NDTV reports that a Zigana pistol allegedly used by Rehan jammed during the attack, and Phool Singh fired using a country-made pistol. indiatwaslnews
Why It Matters
The details suggest a planned operation with remote direction rather than a local dispute, and they show how quickly police traced it, using CCTV and travel records. The central open question is the motive, which Shroff himself says he cannot explain. Pandit’s reported claim of responsibility has not been independently established.
What Comes Next
Shroff’s formal statement, the custody hearings and any recovery of the hidden weapons in Surat will shape the next stage. Bolly Orbit will update this report as developments emerge.
