Shots rang out from three positions as Tiger Shroff, 36, drove past Juhu’s skyline, his front seat open for fans. A Rapido rider, a labourer, and a minor—later identified as Rehan, Hritik Kurmi, and a child—opened fire, but the actor escaped unharmed. Two vehicles beside his shared the impact, leaving the driver and an autorickshaw operator with bruised arms.
Kota Superintendent Tejaswini Gautam confirmed the suspects were seized on the Pune‑Jaipur Express at 9:45 am, after intelligence flagged their train stop. The trio had abandoned their motorcycle near Andheri West station before boarding, then fled on a train bound for Delhi, planning a Nepal getaway.
Investigators learned the trio had pooled Rs 50,000 as advance to carry out the attack. Their messages, exchanged on Signal and Telegram, trailed a route from Sonipat to Begusarai, then toward Delhi. Rehan, known as Sukka, and Hritik Kurmi, alias Roshan, had lived in Mumbai for years, while the minor remained in Rajasthan.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who visited Shroff that night, vowed that "bullets would be answered with bullets" and warned the state would not tolerate gang wars in Mumbai. Shroff’s left hand sustained gunpowder burns and shattered glass, yet he remained uninjured.
The suspects will be handed over to Mumbai Police and face trial in the city’s courts. Police have yet to recover the firearms, but a search of the train is underway. The investigation is expanding to trace the alleged Lawrence Bishnoi gang’s claim of responsibility.
