Delhi Police’s Special Cell has taken into custody four additional suspects linked to the Oct. 18 firing at Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai, according to two Indian news outlets.

What happened

The shooting occurred at about 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 18, in Mumbai’s Juhu area as Shroff was leaving a football club. Three gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on his BMW, injuring his driver and a by‑stander while Shroff escaped unharmed. On Tuesday, police apprehended Kunal, Sumit, Radha and Babita in Delhi and Haryana and handed them over to Mumbai’s Crime Investigation Department for further questioning. A separate raid in Kota, Rajasthan, resulted in three arrests on Monday.

What the reports add

Gulf News, citing Hindustan Times, notes that Kunal allegedly collected a pistol and 20 rounds of ammunition from Amritsar on the instructions of a man named Anil Pandit, with Sumit accompanying him. The outlet also reports that the suspects originally intended to target a different Bollywood actor but switched to Shroff because of perceived weaker security.

Deccan Chronicle provides a more detailed chronology: Kunal, recently released on bail, was introduced to Anil Pandit by a friend from Harsana village and communicated with him via an encrypted app. On Oct. 15, Kunal took Radha and Babita to New Delhi Railway Station, where the weapon was placed in Radha’s bag. The women travelled to Mumbai, checked into a hotel on Oct. 17, and a minor collected the bag near the hotel on Oct. 18 before the firing took place.

What was said

Deccan Chronicle reports that police said Kunal (21) and Sumit (19) are residents of Sonipat, Haryana, while Radha (23) and Babita (23) hail from Uttar Pradesh. The report also quotes police statements that the suspects were produced before a court, which granted Maharashtra CID three days of transit remand.

How it came about

The investigation builds on earlier arrests and statements covered by Felo News. On Oct. 18, Felo reported Shroff’s escape unharmed and the formation of multiple investigative teams (Tiger Shroff escapes unharmed after gunfire in Mumbai’s Juhu). Subsequent coverage noted the arrest of three suspects in Kota, Rajasthan (Suniel Shetty hugs Jackie Shroff after Tiger Shroff shooting) and the broader concern among industry bodies (AICWA demands strict action). The latest arrests expand the suspect pool and provide new details about the alleged procurement of weapons and the alleged shift in target.
