One of the three suspects arrested for firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff once worked with a catering agency in Delhi, then as a cook in Mumbai, before becoming a driver with an app-based bike-taxi, Bihar Police said.
He first found a job with a food catering agency in Delhi. The actor escaped relatively unhurt, while his driver and a bystander were injured. Two alleged operatives of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu, claimed responsibility for the attack. The suspects were nabbed from Kota station in Rajasthan a day later.
The suspect, 22-year-old Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan, studied till the intermediate level and left his house in Bihar’s Begusarai two years ago in search of work.
Only three months ago, he moved to Mumbai, where he worked as a cook at a restaurant and later as a bike-taxi driver and delivery partner, the police said. Begusarai superintendent of Police Maneesh said Kumar has two younger brothers and sisters. Kumar was allegedly riding the two-wheeler when his accomplice fired shots at Shroff in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening, police said.
The suspect’s family and friends said he is very particular about his appearance and fitness, and had even gained attention on social media with videos of intense workouts and his tattoos. Kumar’s maternal uncle Chhotu Mehta also said the family had not been in touch with him for the last few days. “We are currently unable to get clear information about his whereabouts and his situation in Mumbai,” he said.
