Investigators are examining the alleged attackers’ movements around Bollywood stars’ residences, while the search for weapons and the wider conspiracy continues.
MUMBAI, October 22, 2026: Mumbai Police have expanded their investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car, with 10 people reportedly held in connection with the case. Investigators are examining a possible weapons-supply network and whether other prominent Bollywood actors were also being considered as potential targets.
According to a report published by The Indian Express on Thursday, the alleged shooters had visited buildings where actors Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Ranveer Singh reside during their stay in Mumbai. Police are investigating whether the men were specifically instructed to target these celebrities or visited the locations for other reasons.
Authorities have not confirmed that the three actors were on a target list.
The incident took place in Mumbai’s Juhu area on October 18, when motorcycle-borne assailants allegedly opened fire at Tiger Shroff’s car as he was leaving a football ground.
The actor escaped unharmed, while his driver and another person sustained injuries and were taken for medical treatment. Three suspects were subsequently arrested in Kota, Rajasthan, and handed over to Mumbai Police for further investigation.
Investigators are also examining how firearms were procured and transported to Mumbai. According to police reports, several suspects allegedly helped arrange, collect or deliver weapons before the shooting.
The investigation has reportedly led to arrests and detentions across multiple locations, including Delhi and Haryana. Police are working to establish the individual roles of the suspects and determine whether a wider criminal network was involved.
Three key accused have been remanded to police custody until October 31 as investigators continue questioning them and attempt to recover the firearms allegedly used in the attack.
The reported visits to buildings associated with other actors have prompted police to examine whether the alleged attackers had additional targets. However, investigators have not established that these celebrities were part of a confirmed attack plan.
Authorities are also examining claims circulated on social media about the motive behind the shooting and alleged links to a criminal gang. Such claims remain unverified unless confirmed by the ongoing investigation.
Mumbai Police are continuing to question suspects, trace the alleged weapons network and establish the motive behind the attack. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
The case has raised fresh concerns about the safety of public figures and the circulation of unverified claims on social media. Police have urged the public to rely on confirmed information while the investigation remains underway.
