Hritik Kumar, also known as Roshan, was apprehended on 28 May 2026 after a shoot‑out outside a Mumbai club where Tiger Shroff was riding. The assault, carried out by three men linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, left the actor unharmed but caused a stir across the city.
Investigators say the attack was pre‑planned; Kumar had begun shaving his head almost two months earlier to throw off any recognition. He had long hair when he first came to Mumbai from Begusarai, Bihar, and the sudden change made surveillance footage inconclusive.
Kumar’s strategy didn’t stop at a haircut. He swapped rented apartments every few weeks, leaving a trail of false addresses that the police had to untangle. The final address he gave to authorities was a place he had vacated months before, a detail that only surfaced during the forensic review.
Neighbors watched the delivery driver glide through their streets on a green scooter, unaware of the plot brewing beneath the surface. One resident said, "We never thought he’d be part of a crime; he just delivered pizza seasonings to kids in the block." The contrast between his public persona and criminal intent shocked the community.
The police say Kumar’s tactics helped them piece together the broader network. By tracking his rental changes and haircut timeline, investigators linked him to the other two conspirators, Rehan and Phool Singh, both 18 and hailing from Haryana. The trio’s arrest marks a significant blow to the gang’s operations.
The next phase will see the suspects in court on 12 June 2026, where prosecutors expect to argue that the gang orchestrated the hit. Meanwhile, the police are extending their inquiry into potential accomplices across the state.
