MCOCA Custody Extended in Shooting That Targeted Tiger Shroff

The court order signals an organized‑crime probe, keeping five accused in police custody until November 16.

Overview

  • The October 18 attack involved gunmen firing at Tiger Shroff’s car as he left a football ground in Juhu, injuring his driver and a pedestrian who was later hospitalized.
  • Mumbai police have arrested about 13 people in connection with the case and a special MCOCA court has extended police custody of five accused, including the alleged shooter, through November 16.
  • Anil Pandit of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has been reported to claim responsibility for the attack, a claim media outlets have described as reported rather than independently verified.
  • Tiger has stayed out of public view while recovering from visible scratches and a chest bandage, and Jackie Shroff repeatedly refused to comment on the incident during promotions for his film Kaali Kheti.
  • Because MCOCA allows longer custody and special procedures, investigators can expand the probe into organized‑crime links and the case could produce further arrests as the court reviews evidence.
