Investigators handling the inquiry into the brazen shooting directed at actor Tiger Shroff have widened their net by taking a twelfth suspect into custody from Haryana. Amar Suresh Mundedia, who was tracked down following suspicious digital transactions, was presented before the sessions court in Mumbai and remanded to police custody through November 6. Law enforcement officers suspect that the digital funds handled by Amar were directly utilized to purchase a motorcycle and secure hotel rooms in preparation for the attack.
Joint Raid Leads to Arrest in Rohna Village
A joint operation carried out by the Mumbai police and local Haryana personnel led to Amar Suresh Mundedia being apprehended in Rohna village, situated within Haryana's Sonipat district. His capture pushes the total tally of arrested individuals in this high-profile probe to 12. Investigators discovered that Amar had been in regular touch with Kunal, another accused who had been arrested earlier. The two men were personally acquainted, and records indicate they exchanged funds through banking channels leading up to the incident.
Paper Trail Uncovers Digital Fund Transfers
Financial forensics revealed a clear digital trail passing through Amar's bank account. Financial records show that Kunal initially deposited 40 thousand rupees into Amar's account. Following that transfer, Amar routed 12 thousand rupees into the account of another co-accused named Radha. Examining officers are scrutinizing the exact timeline of these transactions, as digital funds were actively distributed to cover logistics connected with the shooting.
Financing Logistics: Hotel Rooms and a Getaway Bike
According to officials, the financial transfers enabled ground arrangements, specifically paying for hotel bookings and the purchase of a motorcycle used in the crime. Investigators are now focused on tracing the ultimate origin of these finances and establishing whose commands Amar was following when routing the payments. With the sessions court granting remand until November 6, authorities are conducting in-depth interrogation. The 11 other suspects previously apprehended in the investigation are also detained in police custody until November 6.
Ambush Outside Juhu Football Facility on October 18
The violent incident took place on October 18 in the Juhu neighborhood of Mumbai as Tiger Shroff was departing from a local football club. Two armed individuals riding a motorcycle pulled up and discharged multiple rounds at the actor's vehicle. While the actor escaped uninjured, his driver and a bystander at the location sustained injuries during the rapid firing. Law enforcement teams immediately mobilized after the shooting, carrying out multi-state enforcement actions that resulted in consecutive arrests across different regions.
