Tiger Shroff case: Salman Khan, celeb homes under probe lens
Police are verifying claims that accused in the Tiger Shroff firing case surveyed celebrity homes, including locations linked to Salman Khan.
The Mumbai Police investigation into the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff has widened sharply, with three accused shooters brought from Kota to Mumbai for further questioning. The case now centres on a single, unverified question: was Tiger Shroff ever the original target?
The three accused — Prateek Kumar, Phool Singh and Rehan Ansari — were scheduled to be produced before Mumbai’s Killa Court. After arriving in Mumbai, they were taken to GT Hospital for medical examination and then placed with the Mumbai Crime Branch’s Anti-Extortion Cell, according to the report.
What police are now checking
Investigators are examining claims that the accused surveyed several celebrity residences in Mumbai, including locations associated with Salman Khan. The allegations include that they recorded videos and carried out reconnaissance before changing their plans.
Tiger Shroff, the report says, may have been identified as a possible target because of his regular visits to a football venue in Juhu. Police are using CCTV footage and other evidence to establish the sequence of events and verify the statements.
- Three accused: Prateek Kumar, Phool Singh and Rehan Ansari, now with the Anti-Extortion Cell.
- The claim: Tiger Shroff may not have been the original target.
- The alleged pattern: Celebrity homes, including Salman Khan-linked locations, were surveyed.
- Parallel arrests: Four more accused were held in a weapons-supply probe.
Why this matters for fans
This is bigger than one incident because it turns on a pattern, not a name. If the alleged reconnaissance is verified, the conversation shifts from a one-off firing to how public routines — a football session, a known address, visible movement — become a security risk.
That is why the report should be read in three layers: what has happened — arrests and court production; what is claimed — surveillance of celebrity homes; and what has not been established — any final target or motive.
The Salman Khan link
The report does not present any of this as proven. It does not establish a direct tie between Salman Khan and an alleged plan; his name enters the probe because locations associated with him were allegedly surveyed. That is enough to intensify media attention, but it is not proof of a direct threat.
In high-profile cases, names travel faster than evidence. So far, the confirmed developments are procedural: the accused are in the Mumbai Crime Branch system and scheduled for court.
The weapons trail
In a parallel development, Delhi Police’s Special Cell arrested four additional accused — Kunal and Sumit from Haryana’s Sonipat, and Radha and Babita from Uttar Pradesh — over an alleged conspiracy to supply weapons to the shooters. Investigators suspect the weapons were transported from Amritsar to Mumbai through intermediaries before being handed over to another person.
What comes next
The immediate next step is the court process in Mumbai. From there, the Anti-Extortion Cell will continue examining evidence, and the Delhi weapons-supply track will either connect to the main case or be treated separately. For now, the responsible read is to follow what investigators confirm, not the loudest version circulating online. For fans, that means a simple discipline: wait for the court process and police confirmation before sharing any list of alleged targets.
