Jaipur, Oct. 20 -- Three people, including a minor, allegedly involved in the firing at actor Tiger Shroff were detained on Monday in Rajasthan's Kota city from the Pune-Jaipur Superfast Express, police said even as the opposition Congress slammed the Maharashtra government over deteriorating law and order situation in the state. Kota Superintendent of Police (SP) Tejaswani Gautam said at a press conference that one of the accused was in touch with Anil Pandit, an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which claimed responsibility for Sunday's attack in an unverified social media post. The three suspects were picked up by Kota city police at the railway station in an operation that lasted around 15 minutes. Their plan was to flee to Nepal, police said. Two of the accused have been identified as Ritik alias Roshan from Begusarai in Bihar and Rehan from Haryana's Sonipat. The third accused is a minor, SP Gautam said. Preliminary questioning revealed that Anil Pandit was in contact with Rehan, she said. The accused were travelling on the Pune-Jaipur train that reached Kota station at 10.17 am. Mumbai police shared inputs with Gautam, who immediately alerted the district special team. She formed different teams. The train was searched thoroughly and the three accused were caught in the general coach of the train, police said. Anti-Gangster Task Force and Railway Protection Force personnel also assisted in the operation. The accused were brought to the SP office, where primary questioning was done, Gautam said. The suspects told police that they boarded the train after "executing the crime". They were planning to take a bus from Jaipur to Delhi and then cross the border to reach Nepal, the SP said. No weapon was recovered from the suspects, she said. "A team from Mumbai Police has reached Kota and the suspects are being handed over to them," she said. The suspects are detained at the moment and will be arrested once Mumbai Police takes them into custody. Gautam said she would recommend rewards for the police personnel involved in the operation. Three assailants opened fire at Shroff's car in Mumbai's Juhu area on Sunday evening. The actor escaped unhurt, while his driver and another person were injured. Police said three rounds were fired at the "War" actor. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the attack, according to social media. However, the authenticity of the video is yet to be ascertained. A viral video showed an assailant firing at the actor's car. Earlier on Monday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said he had spoken to Shroff and assured him that the incident would be taken seriously. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde met Shroff at his residence in Mumbai's Bandra late Sunday night, enquired about the 36-year-old actor's health and reassured his family of full security. Speaking to reporters after meeting Shroff, Shinde said the time had come to uproot criminal networks once again, referring to the crackdown on gangs in the 1990s. "It will be tit for tat, bullets for bullets," he said. Mumbai Police registered a case of attempt to murder in connection with the incident and it was later transferred to the Crime Branch. Born Jai Hemant Shroff on March 2, 1990, Shroff is one of Bollywood's premier action stars and martial artists, holding a 5th-degree black belt in Taekwondo. He debuted with the film "Heropanti" in 2014 and cemented his status as an action hero with films like "Baaghi", "Baaghi 2" and the YRF Spy Universe hit "War". None of the three accused held in the Tiger Shroff shooting case is a minor, Mumbai Police said on Monday, adding that two assailants had fired five to six rounds at the actor's car. Addressing a press conference here, DCP Raj Tilak Roshan said one of the accused is 18 years old, and the other two are 22 years old. "Two accused are from Haryana, and one is from Bihar. Two of the three arrested assailants had fired five to six rounds at Tiger Shroff's car," he said. The DCP said the motorcycle used by them was found in Mumbai's Andheri area. "No weapon was recovered from three suspects. Mumbai Police have taken custody of the three suspects and are bringing them to Mumbai from Rajasthan," he said. Roshan said there was no complaint earlier of any threat to Tiger Shroff. "The motive behind firing on the actor is not yet ascertained. We will find it out after interrogating the suspected assailants," the DCP added. He said the three suspects were nabbed from a train in Kota, Rajasthan, within 15 hours of the incident in a swift inter-state operation executed by 20 special teams of the crime branch, with active technical and operational assistance from the Delhi, Gujarat, and Rajasthan police forces. "A special Mumbai crime branch team has taken custody of all three suspects from Rajasthan Police and is bringing them to the metropolis for interrogation," the DCP added.The shooting targeting the popular "War" star on a busy Sunday evening was captured on video, the clip showing gunshots being fired at close range at his car. While the 36-year-old, who is also veteran actor Jackie Shroff's son, escaped relatively unhurt, his driver and a bystander were injured. A case was subsequently registered at the Juhu police station under sections 109(1) (attempt to murder) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), read with Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act. "Following the attack, crime branch teams analysed technical footprints and recovered the motorcycle used in the crime near Andheri (West) railway station. Tracing the vehicle owner's details, investigators tracked the suspects' escape route to Surat, where they boarded the Pune-Jaipur train," the DCP said. Sharing real-time intelligence with law enforcement in other states, the Mumbai Police coordinated with their counterparts in Kota, who intercepted the train at Kota junction and nabbed all three suspects within minutes of their arrival at the station.Further investigation has been handed over to the Anti-Extortion Cell (AEC) of the Crime Branch, the DCP said. Roshan said authorities are verifying social media claims in which certain individuals purportedly accepted responsibility for the shooting."The firearms used in the crime are yet to be recovered, and police are probing all potential angles, including whether any handlers or external conspirators were involved," he added. BJP leader and Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane on Monday said the Devendra Fadnavis government acts swiftly after crime incidents, claiming police moved into action immediately and nabbed suspects in the Tiger Shroff firing case....
