Tiger Shroff firing case: A father’s 10-12 year silence breaks

The firing outside a Mumbai football ground on Sunday could have ended far worse for Tiger Shroff. The actor escaped serious injury, though his driver was hurt. Now, days later, a family member of one of the three arrested men is speaking out, and the picture is more tangled than a simple star-security headline.

What has surfaced so far

Police say the three accused were allegedly travelling from Mumbai towards Delhi when the Anti-Gangster Task Force and Rajasthan Police stopped them in Kota. Among them was Rehan, from Eidgah Colony in Haryana’s Sonipat district.

In an interview shared by Live 24 TV’s X handle, Rehan’s father, Shudeen, said he has had almost no contact with his son for “around 10 to 12 years.” He said the family has lived separately and that Rehan stayed with his mother, Samsida, who works as a labourer in a factory.

A father’s distance from the case

Shudeen maintained he knew nothing about Rehan’s alleged link to the firing. If the allegations are proved, he said, “the law should decide the punishment.” That sentence matters: it neither defends nor condemns, but hands the question back to the legal process.

He also mentioned a previous firearm-related case from four to five months ago. Rehan was reportedly arrested on August 19 in Gohana for allegedly possessing an illegal firearm. According to Shudeen, Rehan’s mother arranged his bail, and he did not move in with his father after his release.

Who the accused are, according to reports

Rehan’s maternal aunt, Afsana, told local media that he worked as a welder after coming out of jail and had studied only up to Class 9 before dropping out. She said he was home during Eid and later left, saying he was going for work.

The other two arrested are a boy from Haryana and Hrithik Kumar, also known as Roshan, who reportedly worked as a Rapido rider in Mumbai. Investigators are now examining the role each played and what led up to the firing.

Why this matters for film fans

High-profile cases often become social media trials before the police finish their work. Here, the accused’s family is offering a different kind of story: family estrangement, a labourer mother, a son who dropped out and moved between jobs. That does not establish innocence or guilt, but it is a reminder that the case has human layers beyond the star at the centre.

For readers, the useful move is simple: treat the family’s account as one version, not a verdict.

• Wait for the investigation: police are still mapping what each accused allegedly did.
• Do not tag or harass family members on social media; they have not been charged.
• Separate the firing from the actor’s work: Tiger Shroff was not seriously hurt, and there is no indication this changes his projects.

The bigger picture

Sunday’s incident outside a football ground is a security scare, not an on-set story. It is also a reminder of how quickly the spotlight moves from the celebrity to everyone around the case: the driver who was hurt, the families of the accused, and the investigators trying to establish a sequence of events.

Shudeen’s statement puts a simple principle back on the table: allegations should be tested in court, not in comment sections. That is easy to say and hard to remember when a star’s name drives the headline.
