Mumbai: All three accused in the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff have been arrested in Rajasthan’s Kota, with the group including a 17-year-old minor and a 22-year-old man who worked as a Rapido rider in Mumbai. The Anti-Gangster Task Force, along with Rajasthan Police, apprehended the trio near Kota railway station after they allegedly fled Mumbai following the shooting.

All 3 Accused Identified

According to the details shared about the arrests, the three accused include a 17-year-old boy from Sonepat district in Haryana, Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan, 22, originally from Begusarai district in Bihar and currently residing in Andheri West, Mumbai, and Rehan, 18, from Sonepat in Haryana. The minor is reportedly a potter by occupation, while Kumar worked as a Rapido rider.
