Tiger Shroff shooter left Bihar 2 years ago: Police
Patna, Oct. 23 -- One of the three suspects arrested for firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff once worked with a catering agency in Delhi, then as a cook in Mumbai, before becoming a driver, police said. The suspect, 22-yr-old Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan, studied till intermediate level and left his house in Bihar's Begusarai two years ago in search of work. He first found a job with a food catering agency in Delhi. Only three months ago, he had moved to Mumbai, where he worked as a cook at a restaurant and later as a Rapido bike-taxi driver and delivery partner, the police said.
Kumar was allegedly riding the two-wheeler when his accomplice fired shots at Shroff in Mumbai's Juhu area on Sunday evening, police said. The actor escaped relatively unhurt, while his driver and a bystander were injured. Two alleged operatives of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu, claimed responsibility for the attack. The suspects were nabbed from Kota station in Rajasthan a day later.
Begusarai SP Maneesh said Kumar had two younger brothers and sisters.
The suspect's family and friends said he was very particular about his appearance and fitness, and had even gained attention on social media with videos of intense workouts and his tattoos. "Last I knew, he was working with a catering agency in Delhi and also wanted to marry a woman from Rajasthan. He had even visited Surat to purchase wedding-related items along with the woman's father," Kumar's mother Sanyukta said.
"We know that he last visited Surat railway station with the woman on October 17 and we last spoke to him around 2pm that day. His mobile phone went off after that," she added.
The parents of the suspect run a tea-cum-cosmetic stall at Pipra Chowk, Begusarai. His mother claimed he was innocent. "I cannot believe he is a criminal and was part of the firing," she said.
Kumar's maternal uncle Chhotu Mehta said the family had not been in touch with him for the last few days. "We are currently unable to get clear information about his whereabouts and his situation in Mumbai," he said.
Earlier, Kumar's neighbours at Mumbai's Gilbert Hill, where he rented a room for around six months, said he had acquired a reputation for picking fights. They said even seemingly minor disputes over parking his electric scooter or water spilling near his doorway could trigger angry confrontations."Roshan was extremely aggressive and always ready to pick fights. He would argue with neighbours over trivial issues," said Mohd Azhar, a construction site worker who lives nearby....
