What is the latest in the Tiger Shroff Juhu shooting case?
Quick Answer: On the morning of October 19, 2026, Mumbai's Juhu Police registered an FIR against three unidentified accused under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act, and detained two people in connection with the October 18 shooting outside a football ground in Juhu. DCP Mohit Garg confirmed Tiger Shroff was not hit by any bullets and is completely safe.
This is a developing story. This article covers the new October 19 developments — the FIR, the detentions, and the police's official statement. For the original attack, read our earlier report: Tiger Shroff Shot At in Juhu; Driver Injured, Bishnoi Gang Claims.
Mumbai Police have moved fast on the Tiger Shroff Juhu shooting, filing an FIR and detaining two people within hours of the attack. The FIR, lodged at Juhu Police Station on Monday morning, names three unidentified accused under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act.
The detentions came after investigators reviewed CCTV footage from the scene overnight. Two of the assailants were captured on camera, and Times Now reported it had accessed a picture of two men linked to the Sunday evening attack outside the Juhu football ground.
What the Tiger Shroff Juhu Shooting FIR Says
The case falls under the Juhu Police Station's jurisdiction. The Economic Times reported the FIR names three unknown accused and invokes BNS Sections 109(1) and 3(5) along with Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act. Police said the investigation is underway to establish the accused's identities.
The charges show how seriously this is being taken. Section 109(1) of the BNS covers attempt to murder — this isn't being treated as a warning shot. Three to four rounds were fired at Shroff's car on Sunday as a large crowd watched, police said.
Two Detained as 15 Mumbai Police Teams Join the Probe
Two people have been detained on the basis of initial suspicion and evidence, Times Now reported. Their identities haven't been released, and no formal arrests have been announced.
The investigation is running at full tilt. Mumbai Police have formed 15 teams, with the Crime Branch also involved. Officers have recorded the driver's statement, and a forensic team has completed a preliminary scene analysis. "Recognising the seriousness of the incident, the Mumbai Police have deployed a sufficient number of teams," DCP Mohit Garg said.
CCTV Footage: Two Assailants on Camera
The CCTV footage is now the backbone of the case. Two assailants were captured on camera near the football ground, and Times Now said it had obtained a picture of two men tied to the attack. Other visuals showed the panic after the firing — fans and paparazzi ran for cover while Shroff stayed calm, per the report.
Police haven't released the footage publicly, standard during an active probe. But workable suspect images this early — plus two detentions already — suggest investigators have solid leads.
What DCP Mohit Garg Officially Confirmed
DCP Mohit Garg gave the first official account to ANI, settling the key questions. "This incident took place around 7 o'clock," he said. "Some unknown individuals arrived at the scene and opened fire on Mr Tiger Shroff as he was leaving after concluding a private event."
Most importantly: "Tiger Shroff did not sustain any gunshot injuries; he is completely safe." Two others were hurt — his driver, Firdaus, who took a bullet to the hand and is out of danger, and a Mr Chauhan, who is under treatment. The Economic Times added that Firdous suffered a gunshot wound to his left hand at around 7:00 PM.
The Bishnoi Gang Claim Is Still Unverified
Shortly after the attack, a man calling himself Anil Pandit posted on Facebook claiming he and his elder brother Harman Sandhu — describing themselves as tied to Lawrence Bishnoi's gang — were responsible. Times Now reported the claim.
It has not been verified by police. The FIR names unidentified accused, and investigators say they're still working to establish who the shooters were. Social media responsibility claims are routine after high-profile attacks in India — police treat them as one lead among many, not as fact.
Why It Matters
The police response — an FIR within hours, 15 teams, Crime Branch involvement, overnight detentions, CCTV images in the media — signals they want this solved fast and visibly. If a Bishnoi gang link is ever confirmed, it would fit a pattern of gang-linked threats against Bollywood figures that has kept Mumbai Police under sustained pressure.
What Happens Next
The two detained men will be questioned as police try to link them to — or rule them out of — the shooters on camera. Forensic analysis should show what weapons were used and how close the shots came. Expect formal arrests and court remand applications if more suspects surface.
