Tiger Shroff firing: How missing a bus derailed shooters’ plan to flee to Nepal

Police in Mumbai reported that a group of individuals who opened fire during a film‑related incident involving actor Tiger Shroff attempted to flee the city by heading toward the state border with Nepal. Their plan relied on catching an early morning bus that would take them across the border, where they hoped to avoid Indian law enforcement. However, the bus left before they could board, forcing the suspects to seek alternative transport.

Without the scheduled bus, the shooters tried to find a private vehicle but were spotted by surveillance cameras near a major highway. Officers from the city’s crime branch, alerted by the missing‑bus detail, set up checkpoints and intercepted the group within a few kilometres of the border. The suspects were taken into custody and are now facing charges related to illegal possession of firearms and endangering public safety.

For residents of Maharashtra, the incident underscores the importance of swift police response and the challenges of cross‑border crime. The state shares a long, porous border with Nepal, and any attempt by criminals to use that route can complicate investigations. The quick resolution also reassures the public that law‑enforcement agencies are vigilant in protecting both high‑profile individuals and ordinary citizens from violent threats.
