At the Kota railroad station in Rajasthan, three gunmen who were reportedly involved in the assassination attempt on Bollywood star Tiger Shroff were apprehended while riding a train.
One of the accused is from Bihar, and the other two are from Haryana. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang is allegedly connected to all three of them.
Two of the three accused were allegedly paid attackers, while the third is thought to have assisted them in making their getaway following the assault. A 17-year-old boy from Sonipat, Haryana, is one of the accused. The other two have been identified as 18-year-old Rehan from Sonipat, Haryana, and 22-year-old Hritik Kumar alias Roshan from Begusarai, Bihar, who presently resides in Andheri West, Mumbai, and works as a Rapido rider.
Based on intelligence from Mumbai Police, the three gunmen were apprehended by a joint squad of the Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) and Kota City Police. While riding the Pune-Jaipur Express, the culprits were apprehended. The initial pictures of the shooters had surfaced earlier as Mumbai Police stepped up their hunt for the suspects.
In one of the close-ups, two males were seen standing together, one of them donning a black cap. The three suspects were apprehended in Rajasthan after Mumbai Police provided Rajasthan Police with information about their whereabouts, according to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. According to him, the accused ran in the direction of Surat, boarded the Pune-Jaipur Express, and were apprehended at the Kota railroad station.
“We have nabbed them from Rajasthan. They fled towards Surat. They took a Pune-Jaipur Express train. Mumbai Police shared info with Rajasthan Police and thats how Rajasthan Police nabbed them. Rajasthan Police arrested them from Kota station,” Fadnavis said.
The gunmen are said to have followed a prearranged escape route via SV Road through Vile Parle and Andheri after the shooting. They boarded a train headed for Borivali after abandoning their motorcycle close to the Andheri West railroad station.
According to preliminary evidence, the suspects later attempted to elude law enforcement by crossing the border between Maharashtra and neighboring Gujarat. On Sunday nite, unidentified attackers opened fire on Shroff’s vehicle in the Juhu neighborhood of Mumbai. While his driver and another person were hurt, the actor managed to escape unscathed.In a widely shared social media post, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has taken responsibility for the attack. Police haven’t yet confirmed the claim’s accuracy, though.
