What happened
Police booked three unidentified persons under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita after the gunpoint attack near Juhu that injured Tiger Shroff's driver and another passenger.
Why it matters
With the case shifted to the City Crime Branch and one suspect already in custody, officers are hunting shooters they still cannot name.
Remember this
Shroff walked away unharmed; the shooters are still out there.
What is still unclear
Police have booked three people but have not named them, and the alleged gang angle is not yet established.
- The identities of the three accused are not public.
- The Lawrence Bishnoi gang link is under probe, not confirmed.
- The motive behind the attempt to murder is still unknown.
