Mumbai Police have recovered five empty bullet shells and two live cartridges from the site of the firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai's Juhu area, investigators confirmed on 20 October 2026. According to police, the live cartridges fell out of the firearm used by one of the accused, identified as Rehan, after his gun jammed during the attack.

Key Developments in the Investigation

A second accused, Phool Singh — initially described as a minor — has been confirmed by Mumbai Police to be an adult. He allegedly fired five rounds during the incident. A third accused, Hrithik Kumar, was also arrested alongside Rehan and Phool Singh in Rajasthan's Kota on Monday.

The three men face charges of attempt to murder in connection with the firing on Tiger Shroff's vehicle on Sunday evening as the actor was leaving a football match at the Juhu football ground.

CCTV Footage and Alleged Reconnaissance

A senior Mumbai Police official said investigators have spent several weeks examining CCTV footage from the football ground and its surroundings to establish the accused's movements. Some footage reportedly shows the accused conducting a recce of the location before the incident, according to police sources. Investigators are also scrutinising the footage to identify any additional individuals who may have visited the site for reconnaissance purposes.

Notably, police are gathering details about Tiger Shroff's daily routine and the circle of people aware of his schedule — particularly his public appearances — to determine whether this information was used to plan the attack.

Accused Held in Kota, Transit Remand Secured

The Mumbai Police Crime Branch obtained a transit remand from a court in Kota on Monday and was scheduled to bring the three accused to Mumbai on Tuesday. In view of security concerns, the police team opted to remain in Rajasthan overnight before travelling with the accused. A joint Mumbai and Rajasthan Police security assessment was conducted before the arrangements were finalised.

The accused were held overnight at the Kota Railway Colony police station lock-up under tight security amid concerns about a possible escape attempt.

Accused Allegedly Planned Nepal Escape Route

According to sources, the accused allegedly planned to travel by train to Jaipur, proceed to Delhi by bus and then flee to Nepal. Kota Police intercepted them at the railway station before the alleged escape route could be executed — a development that underscores the coordinated inter-state response to the case.

What Investigators Are Probing Next

The Mumbai Police Crime Branch is continuing its investigation to establish the full sequence of events, determine the motive behind the attack, and identify whether any additional individuals were involved in planning or executing the firing. The case has drawn significant attention given the profile of the target and the apparent premeditation suggested by the alleged reconnaissance activity.
