Three men suspected to be involved in the firing at actor Tiger Shroff were detained in Rajasthan’s Kota from a train coming from Mumbai on Monday (October 19, 2026), a police official said.

“The three suspects have been detained by Kota city police today at Kota station,” the official told PTI.

Three unidentified assailants opened fire at Shroff’s car in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday (October 18, 2026) evening. The actor escaped unhurt, while his driver and another person were injured.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to a viral social media post, but police have yet to verify its authenticity.

Earlier, the Mumbai Police have registered a case of attempt to murder against three unidentified persons.

The case, initially registered by the Juhu police, has been transferred to the Mumbai Crime Branch in view of the seriousness of the offence, they said.

The police registered the First Information Report (FIR) under Sections 109(1) (attempt to murder) and 3(5) (criminal acts done in furtherance of a common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and relevant provisions of the Arms Act, an official said.

With the Crime Branch taking over the probe, investigators were probing all possible angles to the case, including potential links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, he said.

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.
