Video: Breaking down Tiger Shroff assassination bid

How did Bollywood star Tiger Shroff survive an assassination attempt by the skin of his teeth? We slow down the footage leading up to the attack to offer a blow-by-blow account of how events unfolded. Defence expert and India Today’s Consulting Editor Sandeep Unnithan describes it as a cold-blooded attack, pointing to the days of reconnaissance that preceded the attempt on the actor’s life. He also explains why these were not merely warning shots, but part of what appeared to be a planned attempt to kill. Earlier on Monday, three men accused of firing at Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai were arrested from a train at Kota railway station in Rajasthan, following a 15-minute operation. They were allegedly travelling from Mumbai towards Nepal. Mumbai Police said none of the three accused was a minor. Two are 22 years old, while the third is 18. Two of them allegedly fired five to six rounds at Shroff’s car during the incident in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening. Deputy Commissioner of Police Raj Tilak Roshan said the motorcycle allegedly used in the firing was recovered from Mumbai’s Andheri area. No weapon was recovered from the three suspects, who are being brought to Mumbai from Rajasthan for questioning. Police also said Rehan was in contact with Anil Pandit, an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which claimed responsibility for the attack in an unverified social media post. The motive behind the firing remains unclear. Police said Shroff had not previously reported receiving any threats.
