Tiger Shroff attack handlers relayed TV news updates to shooters: Report
- On October 18, gunmen fired at actor Tiger Shroff's car in Juhu, with Mumbai Police subsequently arresting 10 people in connection with the attack, including three primary suspects apprehended in Rajasthan.
- Investigators found that handlers monitoring news channels guided the attackers in real-time, sending instructions via encrypted apps as police progress was broadcast on television.
- One message instructed a shooter: "Tumhare chehre aa gaye hain, nikal jao waha se." Handlers allegedly used VoIP apps Signal and Zangi, which are difficult for authorities to trace.
- Police suspect that US-based henchman Anil Pandit or associates Ankit Khatak and Sameer Khatri directed the attackers. Pandit, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility in an unverified social media post.
- Frequent transport changes—from bikes to trains to cabs—helped suspects evade capture before their attempted escape from Surat bus stand. The three attackers remain in police custody until October 31.
