MCOCA Court Extends Police Custody of Five Accused in Tiger Shroff Firing Case Until November 16

A special court operating under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act has extended the police custody of Phool Singh alongside four other individuals linked to the shooting incident involving actor Tiger Shroff. Legal representative Ajinkya Mirgal confirmed that authorities sought a seven-day extension during the court appearance, which resulted in custody being prolonged until November 16 to facilitate further inquiries by law enforcement.

Background of the October 18 Shooting Incident

The ongoing probe stems from an attack reported on October 18, 2026, in the Juhu neighborhood of Mumbai. According to case details, two shooters allegedly discharged multiple rounds at Shroff's vehicle as the actor departed from a football club following a match. The gunfire caused injuries to individuals present at the scene, including the actor's driver and a bystander.

Arrests and MCOCA Invocation

As the Mumbai Crime Branch progressed with its multi-location sweep, total arrests reached 13 individuals by November 3. Among them was a 22-year-old woman apprehended in Karnal, Haryana, who was similarly remanded to police custody through November 16. An earlier arrest involved an individual named Amar, taken into custody in Sonipat, Haryana, and produced on a transit remand before the special court.

Authorities initially registered the case on October 19 under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Arms Act before the Mumbai Crime Branch assumed control. Following authorization granted on October 27, strict provisions under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act were added against all suspects as the wider investigation remains active.
