Mumbai Crime Branch sources claim Tiger Shroff was the intended target, with accused allegedly conducting days of reconnaissance at his residence, gym and football ground before the firing incident. Sources claim accused allegedly changed their statements.
A major revelation has reportedly emerged in the Mumbai Crime Branch investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. According to sources, the accused allegedly changed their statements before investigating officers, with the probe indicating that the actor was their intended target. Investigators are examining the alleged reconnaissance conducted over several days at locations frequently visited by Shroff, including his residence, gym and football ground.
The latest details have added a significant dimension to the investigation into the Tiger Shroff firing incident, suggesting that the accused may have carefully planned their movements to gather information about the actor before the incident. According to sources, the accused had allegedly been conducting recce of Tiger Shroff's house, gym and football ground for several days before the firing incident. Investigators are also looking into the alleged strategy used by the accused to avoid attracting suspicion while moving around Mumbai and visiting locations associated with prominent Bollywood personalities.
Tiger Shroff Was Intended Target, Claim Sources
According to sources familiar with the investigation, who spoke to Times Now, the accused allegedly visited several locations connected to Tiger Shroff to track his movements and understand his routine. The actor's residence, gym and football ground were reportedly among the places they surveyed.
The football ground in Juhu has emerged as a crucial location in the investigation, as Shroff is known to visit the venue often. The alleged reconnaissance at these locations is now being examined as investigators attempt to establish the sequence of events leading up to the firing.
Sources further claim that the accused changed their statements during questioning by investigating officers. The alleged inconsistencies in their accounts have reportedly become an important aspect of the ongoing probe. However, the claims regarding the accused's alleged intentions and reconnaissance remain attributed to sources, and the investigation is continuing to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Mumbai Darshan Cover to Avoid Suspicion?
In another significant detail, sources claim that the accused allegedly visited the homes of several Bollywood celebrities under the guise of a Mumbai Darshan outing. The reported objective was to avoid raising suspicion about their alleged movements around Tiger Shroff's residence and other locations associated with him.
According to the claims, their visits included the residences of Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan. Investigators are reportedly examining whether these visits were used as a cover to make their movements appear like ordinary sightseeing rather than targeted reconnaissance.
The alleged visits to these celebrity residences are particularly significant because they could help investigators understand how the accused attempted to conceal their intentions. Sources claim that the visits were also intended to mislead an auto-rickshaw driver into believing that the group was simply exploring Mumbai's famous landmarks rather than conducting recce of a specific individual. The investigators are looking into the alleged sequence of visits and the statements made by those involved to determine the purpose of these movements.
Anil Pandit Allegedly Received Instructions to Target Tiger
Sources have further claimed that Anil Pandit was given explicit instructions to target Tiger Shroff. This alleged directive forms a key part of the emerging account of the case, although the precise nature of the instructions and the roles played by the individuals involved remain subject to investigation.
The Crime Branch is continuing to examine the alleged planning, movements and statements of the accused to establish how the incident unfolded and whether others were involved in the conspiracy.
Earlier it was reported that according to senior Mumbai Crime Branch sources, the shooters visited the football ground in Juhu on October 11, hoping to target the actor, but Tiger did not turn up that Sunday. They allegedly returned to the same location a week later, on October 18, carrying weapons. Tiger Shroff resumed shooting on Sunday, just two days after the firing incident targeting him in Mumbai. The actor is currently working on Lag Jaa Gale, an upcoming revenge action-romance film backed by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.
