The Mumbai shooting that left Tiger Shroff unscathed sent shockwaves through Bollywood. Three gunmen, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, were later nabbed while hopping onto the Pune‑Jaipur Express at Rajasthan’s Kota station.
The trio—one a 17‑year‑old teen from Sonipat, another an 18‑year‑old Rehan from the same city, and a 22‑year‑old Rapido rider named Hritik Kumar alias Roshan from Begusarai—had plotted the hit after monitoring Shroff’s Sunday routine at Juhu football ground.
Mumbai Police tipped off Rajasthan’s Anti‑Gangster Task Force, and a joint team from Kota City Police swooped in when the suspects abandoned a motorcycle near Andheri West station and boarded a train to Borivali. Their planned escape route—SV Road, Vile Parle, Andheri—was cut off at the last moment.
Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, after visiting Shroff at his Bandra home, pledged a ‘forceful response’ and said criminal networks would be uprooted again. He echoed the city’s vow to tighten security for its biggest stars.
With the arrest, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang’s claim of responsibility on social media rattled the entertainment industry, forcing studios to re‑evaluate security protocols for their actors. In a city that never sleeps, the show must go on, but now with a tighter safety net.
