Tiger Shroff Car Firing Case: 12th Accused Held, Money Trail Eyed

Twelve arrests on, the Tiger Shroff car firing case is shifting from a single dramatic incident to a paper-trail investigation. A Mumbai court on Saturday sent Amar, the 12th accused, to police custody until November 6, and the Mumbai Police are now following the money.

A twelfth arrest, this time from Sonipat

Amar was arrested from Rohna village in Haryana’s Sonipat district and produced before the court on Saturday. The court remanded him until 6 November. On Thursday, a special MCOCA court in Maharashtra had sent 11 other accused to police custody until the same date, which gives investigators a shared remand window across all 12 arrests.

What the police say about the transfers

According to police, Amar’s alleged role lies in the payments, not the firing itself. Officers say money transferred online by Amar was used for parts of the crime, including a motorcycle and hotel bookings connected to the case.

• Kunal, an earlier accused and Amar’s friend and neighbour, allegedly sent Rs 40,000 to Amar’s bank account.
• Amar then allegedly transferred Rs 12,000 to Radha, another accused, on Kunal’s instructions.
• The police are probing why those transfers were made and how the accused are linked.

That turns the case into a money-trail investigation. Individual digital transfers can now be stitched together to show who funded what, even when the person in question never went near the crime scene.

Sonipat becomes a focus

Of the 12 arrested accused, nine reportedly belong to Sonipat, making the district a key focus for investigators. Amar studied up to Class 10 and works at a supplement shop, according to the report; his parents earn through daily-wage labour. His family has said he is innocent and has been falsely implicated.

What happens next

November 6 is the immediate date to watch. The court will decide the next step for Amar and the 11 other accused currently in police custody. As the police continue examining financial dealings and personal links, the case is likely to produce more clarity on who funded the motorcycle and hotel bookings, and on what roles Kunal and Radha are alleged to have played.

Why this matters for Bollywood fans

For our readers, this is the kind of case that moves quickly in court dates and slowly in detail. The money trail matters because it can turn small transactions into a bigger picture. Under MCOCA, Maharashtra’s organised crime law, the matter is being handled by a special court, which is why these remands are being watched closely.
