The Mumbai Police has started investigations into the shooting that involved Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. In addition, there are 10 suspects who have already been taken into custody by the police. The investigation into this case has been mainly focused on the alleged shooters, the supply of weapons, and whether the group members performed reconnaissance before the crime.
Mumbai Police are investigating a shooting involving actor Tiger Shroff, holding 10 suspects focused on alleged shooters, weapon supply from Amritsar to Mumbai, and reconnaissance. Three alleged shooters, Rehan, Phool Singh, and Hrithik Kurmi, are in custody until October 31, 2026.
From the information gathered thus far, there have been three suspects named as the alleged shooters, and others have been charged with assisting in the arrangement and transport of weapons and alleged conspiracy. It has been learned that many of the accused hail from Sonipat in Haryana and different areas in Uttar Pradesh.
In addition, there have been revelations that there have been movements of weapons from Amritsar to Mumbai and that the weapons could have been transported using trains. The police are trying to find out the connection between the accused in order to determine who arranged the weapons and who did reconnaissance.
It should be noted that there have been no court convictions of these people yet. The individual role of every one of them in this alleged crime has to be determined.
Who Are The Accused Arrested In The Tiger Shroff Shooting Case?
The investigation has reportedly identified several people suspected of being part of the alleged network. The following details are based on the information available about the arrests and alleged roles.
1. Kunal, 21, From Sonipat, Haryana
Kunal, who reportedly studied up to Class 10, is suspected of having links to the alleged weapons procurement network. Investigators are examining his reported contact with another accused, Sumit, and whether the two were connected to the movement of weapons.
Police are also investigating the alleged link between weapons sourced in Amritsar and their transportation to Mumbai.
Radha Sunil Verma, described in the available information as Kunal’s girlfriend, has also been arrested in the case. Investigators are examining whether their alleged connection played any role in the movement of weapons.
2. Sumit, 19, From Sonipat, Haryana
Sumit reportedly studied up to Class 8 and worked at a clothing store before his arrest. Police are examining his contacts and his alleged connection with Kunal and other suspects.
Sumit’s mother has claimed to the media that her son is innocent and was misled. She also reportedly said that he was at Khatu Shyam Temple when the incident took place.
This is the family’s account, and it has not independently established Sumit’s whereabouts at the time of the shooting. Investigators will need to examine the available evidence to determine his alleged role.
3. Radha Sunil Verma From Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh
Radha is reportedly from Sitapur district in Uttar Pradesh and has studied up to Class 8.
According to the information available, police suspect that Radha and Babita Raj Ramjatan Rao helped transport weapons to Mumbai by train. Both women were reportedly arrested at Delhi Railway Station.
Investigators are examining where the weapons came from, who allegedly instructed the women to transport them and who was supposed to receive the consignment in Mumbai.
4. Babita Raj Ramjatan Rao From Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh
Babita, who reportedly studied up to Class 12 and worked as a wiring engineer, has also been arrested in connection with the alleged arms supply network.
Police suspect that she and Radha helped move weapons to Mumbai by train.
Investigators are attempting to establish how the weapons were obtained, how they were transported and whether the women knew their alleged intended use.
Her precise role will depend on the evidence gathered during the investigation.
5. Ankit Rajesh Khattak, 18, From Sonipat, Haryana
Ankit, who reportedly studied up to Class 12, is accused of staying in Mumbai with the main suspects for around 20 days and conducting reconnaissance, commonly known as recce.
Recce involves observing a location, monitoring movements and gathering information that could be used to plan an operation.
Police are investigating which locations Ankit allegedly monitored and whether he passed information about the actor’s movements to other suspects. His alleged role could help investigators understand how the shooting was planned, if the recce allegation is supported by evidence.
6. Sameer, 20, From Sonipat, Haryana
Sameer is reportedly a resident of Sonipat and is said to have been in contact with the main accused.
Investigators are examining his communications, contacts and possible links with other suspects. However, the information available does not establish his precise alleged role in the shooting.
Police findings will be needed to determine whether he was involved in reconnaissance, weapons procurement or any other part of the alleged conspiracy.
7. Jatin From Sonipat, Haryana
Jatin’s arrest has also been reported following the arrests of Ankit and Sameer.
However, detailed information about his age, education, occupation and alleged role has not been established in the available account. Investigators are reportedly examining his connections with the other accused and whether he had any involvement in the alleged weapons supply or reconnaissance network.
Who Are The Three Alleged Shooters?
Three people who were mentioned in various news reports as the shooters were reportedly arrested in Kota, Rajasthan. These three individuals have been identified as Rehan alias Sukka, Phool Singh, and Hrithik Kurmi alias Roshan.
It appears that Rehan and Phool Singh hail from Sonipat, Haryana, while Hrithik Kurmi is from Begusarai, Bihar, and had been living in Mumbai.
The three individuals were reportedly brought to Mumbai and presented before the court. It was reported that these three have been kept under the custody of police till October 31, 2026.
Further investigations into their connection with other accused, recovery of weapons which allegedly were used in the crime and motive behind this shooting are being carried out by police.
Police Probe Alleged Arms Supply From Amritsar To Mumbai
One of the key aspects of the investigation is the alleged supply and transportation of weapons.
According to the available information, four people accused of helping arrange the weapons were arrested by Delhi Police and later handed over to Mumbai Police. Radha and Babita are suspected of helping transport weapons by train, while investigators are examining the wider network behind the alleged supply.
Police are attempting to establish where the weapons originated, who arranged them, how they reached Mumbai and who allegedly directed their delivery.
The investigation is also examining whether the people accused of transporting the weapons knew how they would be used.
What Is The Recce Angle In The Case?
The alleged reconnaissance is another important part of the investigation.
Ankit is accused of staying in Mumbai with the main suspects for around 20 days and monitoring locations before the shooting. Police are examining whether this stay was connected to planning the incident and whether information gathered during that period was shared with the alleged shooters.
Investigators are also looking at the communication links between the suspects to determine whether the alleged weapons supply and reconnaissance activities were connected. The purpose of the investigation is to establish whether the accused acted independently or as part of a coordinated plan.
