Well, our top focus at this hour, two men have been arrested and a juvenile detained in Rajasthan's Kota in connection with the firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. A joint team of the anti-gangster task force Rajasthan and Kota city police, acting on inputs from Mumbai police, arrested the three men from the railway colony area. All three are aged between 17 to 22, while two of them are from Haryana. The third is originally from Bihar but lives in Maharashtra. The shooting took place around 7pm India time on Sunday as Shroff was leaving a football ground. CCTV footage shows the assailants firing at the actor's car from close range. Shroff's driver, Firdaus, suffered an injury to his left hand. Another person was also injured and taken to a local hospital. A forensic examination has revealed that the shooter has used a country-made pistol. They fired seven rounds at the vehicle, five bullets hit the car, two missed. In a chilling turn after firing the fifth round, one of the shooters allegedly approached the passenger side window and tried to fire at Shroff from point-blank range, but the pistol reportedly jammed. Police suspect the accused might have conducted a recce of the area before carrying out the attack. The actor reportedly visits the park every Sunday to play football and police believe the shooters may have been aware of his routine. Hours after the shooting, a CCTV footage said to show two suspects had emerged. Police said the assailants left their motorcycle outside Andheri West Railway Station after the attack. Police declined to comment on unverified claims on social media, alleging that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi was behind the attack.

So for that, the Kota Sehar Police has been very calm. And I congratulate the entire team and also congratulate the Mumbai Police team who have continuously tracked them. and we want to ask you one thing. Which train was it? It was the Pune Jaffa Express train in which they were traveling in the general court's office. And their plan was that they would go to Nepal from Delhi and they would go to Paran. No, in the morning they had reached their junction and from there they have been rounded up We have brought him to our office and we will take him to the police station from here. I would like to take the name of my team again. Thank you very much. Tuneen and Shailen, ADTF, RPF Kota Seh Chopra, and Tuneet Raghuvanshi and Shabshan. This is a very amazing operation. In a short time, we gathered everyone, briefed the entire team, I myself monitored the entire team and we were there on time. And as soon as we rounded them up, we waited for the Mumbai Police. The Mumbai Police has arrived and now we are here. What time did you meet the other one? Well, that was live from Kota, Rajasthan, where Tejaswini Gautam, SP of Kota, did a press conference on the Tiger Sheriff firing case. Well, police have arrested three accused. And as per the press briefing, Tejaswini Gautam has said that they will hand them over to the Mumbai police and no weapons were recovered from the three suspected. And they've also said that they want to congratulate the teams for the quick action in terms of detaining the three accused.

Disha, can you please get us more details after the press briefing that just happened? Well, we'll go back to our correspondent, Disha Yadav. And till then, for our viewers who have just joined in, two men have been arrested and a juvenile detained in Rajasthan's Kota in connection with the firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff and a joint team of the anti-gangster task force Rajasthan and Kota police, city police acting on inputs from Mumbai police, arrested the three men from the railway colony area. And just now we heard Tejaswini Gautam, SP, Kota, who gave a press conference and told the reporters that they will hand the three over to the Mumbai police and no weapons have been recovered from them. And Mumbai police have arrived there and they will now initiate the handover process. All three are aged between 17 to 22 years, while two of them are from Haryana. The third is originally from Bihar, but lives in Maharashtra. The shooting took place around 7 p.m. India time on Sunday as Shahrukh was leaving a football ground. CCTV footage shows the assailants firing at the actor's car from a very close range. Shahrukh's driver, Firdaus, suffered an injury to his left hand and another person was also injured and taken to a local hospital. A forensic examination has revealed that the shooters used a country-made pistol. Well, going over to my correspondent, Disha Yadav. Disha, can you please get us more details after the press briefing that just happened with the SP of Kota? The initial information has emerged as to how the arrest took place of all the three attackers here in concern. Remember what really helped all the shooters to get nabbed from Mumbai, from all the way to Rajasthan's Kota, is that how the shooters' faces were clearly visible in the videos that were circulated by several people who were present at the time of the incident right here outside the football ground in Mumbai's Juhu area where we are also present at this point in time. Remember, because the bike was also abandoned by the shooters here in concern right outside the Andheri railway station which is just two kilometers away from here. So it took about roughly five to seven minutes for the shooters to move from this football ground location to the railway station. From there, they took a local train towards Surat and from there they took a Pune Jaipur Express towards Rajasthan, where they were ultimately nabbed and arrested from the Kota railway station. So the press conference which just happened, they also spoke about how the Mumbai Crime Branch and Mumbai Police did give them inputs. They also shared the CCTV grabs of all the three attackers which they recovered from the nearest CCTV locations as well as from the eyewitnesses' cell phones. because remember more than 10 statements already have been recorded in the last 16 hours alone of people who were present here at this point at this specific location and several videos were also doing the rounds so it made it very easy for the Rajasthan team as well for the Rajasthan's anti-gangster team as well to really find the accused here in person. Now the initial information which has also been confirmed is the fact that out of all out of the three shooters two is from Haryana and one is from Maharashtra one is from Mumbai. The third suspect here in concern who is a 22 year old was already a Rapido driver so he provided logistics to the two professional shooters who were from Haryana. Now police has also revealed that one of the shooter was already in touch with the handler in concern via telegram or via other mode of communication constantly so he was also updating the handler about their whereabouts and at this outside football ground the shooters waited here for 45 minutes they did recce as well because remember Tiger Shroff used to come every Sunday to play on this ground for at least two hours so they did keep a tab of every moment of his and they were waiting for that one moment and from this very gate he uh he he came out in his car and that is when seven rounds of bullets were fired five hit his car and two were missed and you can clearly see the markings also that has been done by the mumbai right of course just once again we are getting in live visuals of coming in from the spot right now as you can clearly see, you know, the shooters who have been arrested from Kota in the Tiger Shroff incident, and we are getting in these live. And then, of course, you know, we have gotten in all the information, like three have been arrested in Kota in connection with the firing at the Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff and a joint team of the anti-gangster task force, Rajasthan and Kota city police, acting on inputs from Mumbai police, have arrested these three men from the railway colony area. Well, as we all just heard, SP Tejaswini Gautam, who said that the accused will be handled and will be handed over to Mumbai police. Well, Disha, can you get us more on this? Like after the handover, what exactly are we expecting? I understand that one team from the Mumbai crime branch has already reached Kota and very soon they will be completing all the legal formalities that needs to be done and they will get all the three accused and attackers back here to Mumbai and they will start investigation and questioning them on the motive. Because we know for the fact that one audio clip is already doing the rounds where Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed the responsibility behind the firing incident. But whether that is verified, confirmed, whether these shooters were from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang or whether it was some other network, that is something which will be known only once Mumbai Crime Branch actually starts investigating and questioning them. So that will happen once they have them in the Mumbai police custody. So that will take another about, like, the day is what we are being told. And after completing all the legal formalities, the team will be brought back here to Mumbai. And of course, this is a major development in the shooting case. And, you know, we will, of course, continue keeping a close eye on the developments, bringing our viewers all the updates, official police statements, of course, and ground reactions as the situation evolves. But thank you so much, Disha, for joining in and getting us all the details on this.
