Tiger Shroff Firing Case: Mumbai Court Remands 11 Accused to Police Custody Until November 6

Incident Summary

On October 18, at approximately 7 pm, a firing incident occurred as Tiger Shroff was leaving a football club. According to police reports, Shroff sustained injuries from gunpowder, while his driver, Firdous, and another bystander suffered bullet injuries and required hospital treatment.

Legal Developments

In connection with the investigation, 11 individuals have been arrested. These 11 suspects were produced before a special MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) court in Mumbai. The court has remanded the accused to police custody until November 6.

Investigative Claims

• Gang Involvement: The Mumbai Crime Branch alleges that the incident was carried out under the instructions of Anil Pandit, who is identified by authorities as the primary gang leader and remains absconding.
• Evidence: Investigators informed the court that digital evidence, including voice chats, has been recovered. Police allege the accused utilized foreign applications like Signal to hide their identities and coordinate activities.
• Custodial Requirements: The Crime Branch sought further custody to investigate the origin of the weapons—noting one was reportedly foreign-made—and to determine the source of ground-level assistance provided to the suspects.

Defence Arguments

The defence counsel argued against further police custody, noting that weapons and evidence had already been recovered. They suggested that financial investigations could proceed via bank records and requested that the accused be moved to judicial custody instead. Additionally, the defence raised concerns regarding the health of one accused, identified as Sameer, citing that he has only one functioning kidney.

Verification of these developments can be tracked through official court filings or statements from the Mumbai Crime Branch.
