Tiger Shroff firing incident: Assailants, their handlers won’t be spared, says CM Fadnavis

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday (October 19, 2026) said that the police have identified suspects in the firing on actor Tiger Shroff’s car.

Mr. Fadnavis assured that the suspects would be arrested soon.

Three unidentified men reached Mumbai’s Pushpa Park in Juhu on Sunday (October 18, 2026), while two of them opened fire on the actor’s car.

“We have taken this matter very seriously. It is a grave and condemnable incident. Mumbai Police has received clues and is working on them. The suspects have been identified, and they will be arrested as soon as possible. We will also track down their handlers, who are hiding somewhere and sending instructions from there.” he said.

The Chief Minister said that either suspects or handlers are operating from Maharashtra. “Those operating from within the State have already been arrested. These people are operating from outside Maharashtra or from abroad.”

“We will coordinate with the States from which they are operating and seek the Centre’s assistance to track down those operating from abroad. Action will be taken against them. I reiterate that these are cowards who try to attack from hiding, but their attempts will be foiled.”

Earlier, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had said that the police will respond to the shooters in their own language.
