A Mumbai court on Wednesday remanded the three main accused—in the October 18 attack on Bollywood star Tiger Shroff—to 10 days of police custody, amid reports that the actor has resumed filming.
The trio behind the Bishnoi gang-claimed shooting attempt were identified as Haryana-based Rehan (alias Sukka) and Phool Singh, and Ritik Kurmi (alias Roshan) from Bihar, and were brought to Mumbai from Rajasthan early on Wednesday.
This comes after the Crime Branch probe into the case produced them before a magistrate court and sought 14 days' custody for a detailed investigation.
They added that they needed to recover the weapons used in the crime and that the accused had destroyed two mobile phones, and that the custody would help them unearth the motive behind the incident, a PTI report said.
However, defence lawyers Ajinkya Mirgal and Satyabrat Joshi had opposed the 14-day remand, saying that custody was not required for the recovery of weapons, and had also pointed out that the accused had been interrogated whilst in the transit remand.
The remand also comes hours after the Delhi Police detained four more accused of arranging and transporting the weapons that were used to attack Shroff.
The four individuals, identified as Kunal and Sumit from Haryana, and Radha and Babita from Uttar Pradesh, were arrested by Special Cell (NDR) on Tuesday and were produced before a Delhi court.
Tiger Shroff resumes shooting
In the meantime, Tiger Shroff reportedly resumed filming on October 20—just two days after the attack in which he managed to escape unharmed.
As per a Times Now report, Shroff visited the sets of his 2027 action flick, Lag Jaa Gale, in Mumbai's Juhu area. Directed by Raj Mehta (Good Newwz), the film also stars Tiger's father Jackie Shroff, Vidyut Jammwal, Tabu, and Jahnvi Kapoor.
Shroff's first statement since the attack
Though the actor's team has not yet confirmed that he visited the sets of Lag Jaa Gale on October 20, they did release a statement on the same day—the first since the attack.
It warned people not to spread fabricated narratives, AI-generated content, and fake news about him, adding that "LEGAL ACTION MAY BE INITIATED against individuals or pages found creating, promoting or circulating such fabricated content".
