The Mumbai Crime Branch recovered two firearms and 10 live cartridges from Surat in Gujarat on Friday (October 23, 2026) in connection with the firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Juhu. In a further development, a male suspect was detained in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, as investigators continued to probe the attack.
Confirming the detention, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Detection) Raj Tilak Roshan said, “One male suspect has been detained now in this case from Indore by Mumbai Crime Branch team. We are taking further legal action.”
Police have not yet disclosed the identity of the detained suspect or his alleged role in the case.
The recovery was made during the investigation into a case registered on October 19 under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act.
The case stems from the October 18 firing incident in Juhu, when assailants allegedly opened fire at Shroff’s car before fleeing on a motorcycle. The actor escaped without serious injuries, while his driver and a bystander were injured.
Investigators are examining the recovered firearms to establish their connection with the shooting and trace the network involved in procuring and supplying the weapons. Further investigation is underway.
