Tiger Shroff firing incident: 4 accused sent to Police custody till Oct 26
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) The four accused, including two women, arrested in connection with the Tiger Shroff firing case were produced before a magistrate's court on Thursday. The court has now sent the suspects to Police custody till Oct 26. The Delhi Polices Special Cell, NDR unit, arrested four accused in the firing incident on October 20. The four suspects arrested have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, from Sonipat (Haryana), Radha, 23, from Sitapur (Uttar Pradesh), and Babita, 23, from Azamgarh (Uttar Pradesh). If the reports are to be believed, the accused fled to Surat in Gujarat after the incident and boarded a Jaipur-bound train from there. The suspects reportedly planned to go to New Delhi and eventually escape to Nepal from there. However, they were arrested by Mumbai Police in Kota, Rajasthan, before they reached Delhi. Meanwhile, the police sources also claimed that the accused practised shooting before the attack. The reports also suggest that a misfire took place while they were testing the weapon in their hotel room in Mumbai's Andheri area. The Mumbai Police sources further revealed that the accused disclosed during the interrogation the location where they had test-fired the weapon. The weapons were reportedly test-fired as the accused wanted to ensure that the firearm was functioning properly before carrying out the attack on Tiger. Both the suspects are believed to have successfully fired the weapon during the practice session. It was also revealed during the investigation that a misfire occurred while the accused were testing the gun in their hotel room in Andheri. Sources claim that one of the bullets was fired onto the bed during the incident. However, the shot failed to raise any suspicion among hotel staff or anyone else in the hotel.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 22 (IANS) External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar on Thursday said that he has failed to understand the reasons behind opposition parties' criticism of India hosting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Mumbai. He also listed past instances when leaders have met foreign leaders outside Delhi. I didn't get that. They don't like Mumbai? I mean, they have something against Mumbai? I think it is a great city, it is our financial capital. It is our Bollywood capital. It has got so much going for it. Maybe Mumbai doesn't like them... I have no idea why they have this reservation, said EAM Jaishankar while speaking at the NDTV World Summit. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had last week taken a swipe at the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Rubio's meeting EAM Jaishankar in Mumbai, terming it as summoning. EAM Jaishankar then went on to list a few examples when India has hosted visiting foreign leaders outside Delhi. If going out of Delhi to meet a foreign leader or a foreign counterpart is summoning, I can give you a lot of examples. Mrs (Indira) Gandhi went to Shimla to meet Bhutto. Was she summoned? Salman Khurshid went to Jaipur to meet a Pakistan PM. Was he summoned? he asked. We are adults, let's have an adult conversation. Let's leave, you know, said EAM Jaishankar amid a round of applause from the gathering at the venue. EAM Jaishankar hosted counterparts from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United States in Mumbai on October 19-20 and also attended the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the independence of the US as a Guest of Honour. Last week, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) had also dismissed any criticism about the choice of Mumbai as a venue for EAM Jaishankar's bilateral engagements. It has been the practice for the last decade or so that we have hosted foreign dignitaries outside Delhi. To just give you some examples, Prime Minister hosted the Prime Minister of Spain in Baroda. He hosted Chancellor Merz in Ahmedabad. Prime Minister of Mauritius was hosted by him in Varanasi, and the External Affairs Minister hosted the SCO Foreign Ministers Meeting in Goa. He hosted the Foreign Minister of Botswana in Kevadia in Gujarat, and the External Affairs Minister also hosted the Heart of Asia Conference in Amritsar. So, that was just to give you a few examples of the meetings of leaders, of dignitaries that have happened outside of Delhi, stated MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal during a bi-weekly media briefing in New Delhi on Friday. /as

Rajasthan Police issues advisory as cybercriminals hack accounts using fake QR codes
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 21 (IANS) Rajasthan Polices R-4-C (Rajasthan Cyber Crime) wing has issued an advisory outlining ways to identify scams and protect against them as cybercriminals are targeting individuals by hijacking their WhatsApp accounts. Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), Cyber Crime, V.K. Singh, said cybercriminals use techniques such as fake QR codes, social engineering and OTP theft to gain unauthorised access to WhatsApp accounts. Once an account is compromised, scammers contact people on the victim's contact list, often seeking money under the pretext of medical emergencies or other urgent needs. They may also circulate suspicious links to further their fraudulent activities. Police officials said that cybercriminals use several methods to gain control of WhatsApp accounts, including tricking users into linking their accounts to unknown devices through fake QR codes or malicious links, impersonating friends, officials or customer support representatives to obtain OTPs, verification codes or two-step verification PINs, exploiting suspicious applications to gain unauthorised access to SMS messages, notifications or accessibility permissions and tricking users into installing remote-access or screen-sharing applications to take control of their devices. Warning signs to watch for are that users should remain alert to the following indicators of a possible account compromise: The Rajasthan Police has advised citizens to follow precautions to protect their accounts. They said that QR codes received from unknown individuals, websites or unsolicited messages should not be scanned; two-step verification and a strong PIN should be enabled; an OTP, registration code or two-step verification PIN should not be shared with anyone. The Rajasthan Police has urged citizens to report such incidents, including attempted fraud, promptly to the nearest police station or cyber police station. Complaints can also be registered on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal at cybercrime.gov.in. Victims of financial cyber fraud should call the national cybercrime helpline at 1930 without delay.
World Banks SUTRA project to transform Rajasthans urban landscape
Digital Desk | Jaipur, Oct 21 (IANS) The World Bank has prepared a proposal for the Sustainable Urban Transformation in Rajasthan Accelerated (SUTRA) project, aimed at improving urban amenities, strengthening infrastructure, promoting tourism and enhancing the financial and administrative capacities of urban local bodies across Rajasthan. The proposed project has an estimated cost of $385.7 million, equivalent to more than Rs 3,500 crore. According to the latest documentation released by the World Bank, the project will cover 32 urban local bodies across four major urban clusters, namely Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota and Bharatpur, along with 28 associated satellite towns. The combined population of these areas is projected to exceed 7.8 million by 2026. The initiative aims to promote planned urban development, strengthen civic infrastructure and improve access to essential services, making cities more liveable and resilient. The project proposes a range of initiatives across the four urban clusters to conserve and revitalise historical and cultural heritage, improve urban transport and connectivity, strengthen solid waste management, and upgrade civic amenities. These interventions are expected to improve urban mobility, enhance the quality of life for residents and unlock tourism potential. Given Rajasthans rich cultural heritage and its numerous historical attractions, the conservation and development of heritage areas will be an important component of the initiative. The project will also seek to address key urban challenges, including water scarcity during periods of extreme heat and waterlogging during the monsoon season. Improved infrastructure and urban services are expected to help cities respond more effectively to these recurring problems. The proposed project also aims to strengthen the financial and administrative capabilities of urban local bodies. According to World Bank documentation, measures will be introduced to improve revenue administration and debt management. Another key objective is to enhance the borrowing capacity of urban local bodies and develop mechanisms to mobilise private and commercial capital for urban infrastructure development. These measures are intended to improve the financial sustainability of municipal institutions and support long-term investment in urban services. The Rajasthan Urban Infrastructure Development Project (RUIDP) will serve as the implementing agency for SUTRA. According to the project timeline outlined in the documentation, the World Bank is expected to review the project's technical design by December 10, while formal approval by its Board is anticipated by July 2, 2027. The proposed financing package includes a $270 million loan from the World Bank's International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), supplemented by $115.7 million in funding from the Rajasthan government. The initiative is expected to provide a framework for coordinated urban development across the selected clusters, with an emphasis on improved infrastructure, stronger municipal governance and more sustainable cities.

Tiger Shroff firing case: Four more people, including two women, arrested
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 21 (IANS) The investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroffs car has taken a new turn, with Delhi Polices Special Cell arresting four people allegedly linked to the supply of weapons and efforts to help the shooters escape. Delhi Polices Special Cell, NDR unit, arrested four accused on October 20. They have been identified as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, both residents of Sonipat district in Haryana, along with Radha, 23, from Sitapur in Uttar Pradesh, and Babita, 23, from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh. The investigation is examining the alleged movement of a pistol and ammunition from Amritsar to Mumbai, the role of intermediaries in delivering the weapon and the reported attempts to help the shooters leave the city after the incident. According to the police, investigators are examining the alleged roles of the four in transporting the weapon. Kunal had recently been released from jail on bail. He allegedly met Anil Pandit through a friend. The two subsequently began communicating through an encrypted messaging application, according to Delhi Police. Police allege that, on Pandits instructions, Kunal brought a pistol and 20 cartridges from Amritsar. Sumit reportedly accompanied him during the journey. According to the police account, Kunal met Radha around two months before the incident. He allegedly told her about his activities and subsequently persuaded her to carry the weapon to Mumbai. On October 15, Kunal reportedly took Radha and Babita to New Delhi railway station. The pistol was allegedly placed inside Radhas bag. On October 17, Radha and Babita reportedly arrived in Dadar and checked into a hotel. At around 11 am that day, a minor boy allegedly collected the bag from Radha near the hotel. Police are investigating who received the bag afterwards and how the weapon was allegedly used in the firing. The firing incident took place on the evening of October 18. According to Delhi Police, Anil Pandit subsequently told Kunal that the shooters were stranded in Mumbai and allegedly asked him to arrange their escape. On the same day, Radha and Babita reportedly left Dadar for Delhi aboard the Haridwar Express. The women were apprehended at New Delhi railway station on October 20, while Kunal and Sumit were detained in Sonipat. Following the firing incident, the accused reportedly fled to Surat in Gujarat, from where they boarded a Jaipur-bound train. Their alleged plan was to travel to New Delhi by bus before escaping to Nepal. Three accused were arrested by Mumbai Police in Kota, Rajasthan, in connection with the case. Further investigation is underway.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 20 (IANS) A new angle has emerged in the firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car, with preliminary interrogation of the arrested accused reportedly revealing that the actor was not their original target and that they had initially planned to attack another prominent Bollywood personality. Mumbai Police sources said the accused had travelled to Mumbai with the intention of targeting another celebrity. However, after finding it difficult to reach their intended target, they allegedly shifted their focus to Tiger Shroff. Investigators have reportedly found that the accused learned about the actor's security arrangements through Instagram reels uploaded by his fans. The videos allegedly indicated that the 36-year-old actor did not usually have police security accompanying him, prompting the attackers to consider him an easier target, sources added. During preliminary questioning, the accused, according to sources, disclosed that they wanted to kill the actor to spread fear in the Bollywood industry. According to sources, the attackers also conducted reconnaissance by monitoring Tiger Shroff's movements through his Instagram account and posts and videos shared by his fans. The firing took place on a busy Sunday evening and was captured on video. The actor, son of veteran Bollywood star Jackie Shroff, escaped relatively unhurt. However, his driver and a bystander sustained injuries in the incident. According to Mumbai Police, five to six rounds were fired at the actor's car. A motorcycle allegedly used by the shooters was subsequently recovered in an abandoned condition in Andheri. Following the attack, the accused reportedly fled to Gujarat's Surat, from where they boarded a Jaipur-bound train. Their alleged plan was to travel to New Delhi by bus before escaping to Nepal. However, Mumbai Police arrested the three accused in Rajasthan's Kota in connection with the case. Two of the arrested accused have been identified as Ritik, alias Roshan, from Begusarai in Bihar, and Rehan from Sonipat in Haryana. Police have registered a case under charges of attempted murder and relevant provisions of the Arms Act. Investigators are also examining the alleged links between the accused and members of organised criminal networks. Police said Rehan was in contact with Anil Pandit, an alleged associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which claimed responsibility for the attack in an unverified social media post. Meanwhile, a purported audio clip allegedly featuring Pandit, a 32-year-old US-based gangster from Panipat, has circulated widely on media platforms. In the recording, he allegedly claims that Tiger Shroff was targeted for ignoring warnings against working with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. However, the authenticity of the audio clip has not been independently verified. Police are continuing to interrogate the arrested accused to establish the motive, identify the original intended target and ascertain the wider conspiracy behind the attack.
