Mumbai, October 29: A special court under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) on Thursday remanded all 11 accused in the firing case involving actor Tiger Shroff to police custody until November 6. Mumbai Police had sought 10 days of custody to investigate the case further.
During the hearing, the defence submitted the medical records of the ninth accused, stating that he has only one functional kidney, while the other is non-functional.
Speaking after the hearing, defence lawyer Ajinkya Mirgal Madhukar said, “We presented the medical records of the ninth accused to the court. He has only one functional kidney—the other is non-functional.”
He added that Mumbai Police had argued for custody to trace digital and financial transactions and retrieve information from the seized mobile phones. However, the defence opposed the request, contending that the relevant devices and materials had already been seized, making further physical custody unnecessary.
During the proceedings, the judge asked the accused whether they had any complaints or wished to make any statements. The court also confirmed whether they understood Marathi and directed them to cooperate with the investigation.
Mumbai Police has invoked provisions of the MCOCA, 1999, against all 11 accused in connection with the case. The provisions were added on Tuesday to a case registered on October 19 by the Detection of Crime Branch, Criminal Investigation Department (DCB-CID).
The case was initially registered under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act.
According to Mumbai Police, the competent authority granted permission to invoke MCOCA provisions under Section 23(1)(a) of the Act on October 27. Subsequently, Sections 3(1)(ii), 3(2) and 3(4) of MCOCA were added to the case against all the accused.
“Further investigation is ongoing,” the police said.
Earlier, the Esplanade Court in Mumbai had remanded four accused—Kunal, Sumit, Radha and Babita—to police custody until October 28. The four were produced before the Esplanade Court, also known as Killa Court, for the second time on Monday.
The case relates to a firing incident that occurred around 7 pm on October 18 in Mumbai’s Juhu area, when actor Tiger Shroff was leaving a football club. The actor escaped unhurt, but his driver sustained injuries in the incident.
The investigation is ongoing, with police examining the alleged involvement of the accused and pursuing digital and financial leads in the case.
