Mumbai Police have arrested a 12th accused in the firing case involving actor Tiger Shroff after investigators traced suspicious money transfers to a bank account in Haryana, according to a report by Times of India. The accused, identified as Aman, was apprehended in Rohna village and handed over to the Mumbai Crime Branch for questioning.
The arrest followed information received by a police team led by Assistant Sub-Inspector Veerpal of the Crime Unit in Kharkhoda. Investigators found that Kunal, another accused from Rohna village, had deposited money into Aman’s account. Police also detected several transactions of Rs 5,000 each from different accounts.
The Crime Branch is probing the source and purpose of the transfers and Aman’s alleged role in the case. The available report does not specify whether police have attributed a particular transaction or financial instruction directly to the firing. Aman was subsequently handed over to Mumbai Police for further investigation.
The development came a day after a special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act court remanded 11 accused, including two women, to police custody until November 6. Mumbai Police have invoked MCOCA in the case, alleging that the firing was part of an organised crime conspiracy.
The incident took place in Mumbai’s Juhu area on October 18, when assailants allegedly opened fire near a football ground where Shroff had been playing. The actor escaped unhurt, while his driver and another person sustained injuries, according to the report.
Police have alleged that the incident involved a wider network responsible for arranging weapons, coordinating the operation and handling financial transactions. The suspected money transfers have therefore become part of the investigation into how the alleged operation was organised and funded.
The case places a public sports and recreation space at the centre of a wider criminal investigation, but the supplied report does not indicate that the football ground itself was targeted for any urban or land-related reason. It also does not provide details of additional security measures, public-access restrictions or changes to policing around Juhu facilities.
The 12th arrest does not establish Aman’s guilt. His alleged role, the purpose of the transfers and the links between the accused remain matters for investigation and legal proceedings. Mumbai Police are continuing to question the accused and examine the financial connections identified during the probe.
