Tiger Shroff firing case: 11th suspect detained in Indore with Lawrence Bishnoi links
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
The Mumbai Crime Branch, in a joint operation with the Madhya Pradesh Police, has detained a suspect from Indore for allegedly providing logistical and financial support to a network linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang — in connection with the 18 October firing at actor Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai. The detention brings the total number of accused apprehended in the case to 11, according to reports.
Key Developments in the Indore Detention
Indore Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Dandotia confirmed the development while briefing the media, stating that the operation was carried out jointly by the Mumbai and Indore Crime Branch teams. The suspect is alleged to have been part of the support network of the syndicate, providing logistical assistance to those involved in the attack.
'The detained person was part of the support team of the syndicate and provided logistical assistance,' DCP Dandotia said.
He added that the suspect was being questioned to establish his precise role. 'He is being questioned, and if necessary, he will be arrested. Further legal action will be taken once his role is established,' the DCP said.
What Investigators Are Probing
The Indore operation forms part of the Mumbai Crime Branch's wider investigation into the firing incident in the Juhu area of Mumbai on 18 October. Investigators are examining the alleged support network, including the suspected provision of funds, logistical assistance, and weapons to those directly involved in the attack.
The probe is also focusing on the alleged links between the accused and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, as investigators seek to establish the full sequence of events and identify any others who may have assisted in planning or executing the incident. Notably, the Bishnoi gang has been linked to several high-profile criminal incidents in recent months, making this investigation part of a broader law-enforcement crackdown on its alleged network.
Tiger Shroff Unhurt; Investigation Continues
Actor Tiger Shroff escaped the 18 October incident unhurt. Police are continuing to question the detained suspect and other accused, and further legal action will depend on the findings of the ongoing inquiry. The case underscores the alleged reach of organised criminal networks that reportedly operate across state lines, using local logistical support to carry out targeted attacks in major cities.
