A gun attack on Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai’s Juhu was already startling enough. Then came the detail that gave the case an unexpectedly surreal twist: one of the men arrested was identified as Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan, a name that instantly stood out because of its association with actor Hrithik Roshan.
The firing took place on October 18, 2026, at around 7 pm, when Tiger was leaving a football ground in Juhu. The actor escaped direct gunshot injuries, but his driver was hurt in the attack, turning the incident into a serious criminal case that has quickly moved through key early stages of investigation.
Three Accused Arrested In Tiger Shroff Attack
Police have arrested three accused in connection with the firing: Phool Singh, Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan, and Rehan. Mumbai Police also addressed confusion around the age of one accused, with Deputy Commissioner of Police Raj Tilak Roshan saying, “One is 18 years old and the other two are 22 years old.”
Investigators said the accused were caught while travelling by train after the shooting. A case has been registered under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act. Officers are continuing to examine the motive and the level of planning behind the attack.
Why The Alias Drew Attention
The name Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan has become one of the most striking details in the case because of its overlap with Hrithik Roshan, who shared screen space with Tiger in War. In a case already involving a major Bollywood star, that coincidence has added an unusual layer to the investigation’s public profile.
Police details identify Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan as a 22-year-old man originally from Begusarai in Bihar who had been living in Andheri West, Mumbai, and working as a Rapido rider. Investigators are now piecing together the role each accused allegedly played and reconstructing the movements that led to the firing in Juhu.
As the investigation unfolds, the incident has also placed fresh focus on Tiger at a time when his career remains in an interesting transition phase on screen.
Tiger Shroff’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Tiger’s recent run has been defined by ambitious action-led projects that did not fully translate at the box office. Ganapath in 2023 and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan in 2024 both arrived mounted on scale, star power, and franchise-style promise, but neither film delivered the kind of theatrical momentum usually tied to his action-hero image.
That is why Baaghi 4 now carries particular weight in his lineup. As of October 20, 2026, it stands as the major confirmed upcoming title most closely aligned with the screen persona that made Tiger a bankable action star in the first place. The Baaghi brand has long been central to his mass appeal, and the next installment is expected to be closely watched as he looks to reset the conversation around his theatrical career.
