England Players Free To Skip T20Is Against Sri Lanka If WPL Teams Reach Knockouts
Sri Lanka Cricket: England players, including skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt, will be free to skip the three-match T20I series in Sri Lanka if their respective franchises reach the knockout stage of the Women's Premier League (WPL) 2027, which runs from January 14 to February 7 next year. Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) announced the white-ball tour itinerary on Wednesday, with the T20Is in Pallekele on February 1, 3 and 5 as preparation for the inaugural Women's T20 Champions Trophy, to be played in India from February 14 to 28. After the tournament is over, England will return for three ODIs in Dambulla on March 4, 6 and 8 respectively. If the England players are in the knockouts of the WPL, then they can continue to play for their respective WPL team due to the late-changing nature of the itinerary for the Champions Trophy, a source in the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) told IANS on Wednesday. The Champions Trophy was originally slated to happen in Sri Lanka in June-July 2027 before the ICC advanced the dates and moved it to India, after the island nation was stripped of hosting rights over government interference in the governing bodys administration. Apart from Sciver-Brunt, who plays for Mumbai Indians, Lauren Bell (Royal Challengers Bengaluru) and Sophie Ecclestone (UP Warriorz) have been retained for the 2027 WPL. Sophia Dunkley and Kira Chathli are the only England players registered for the WPL mini auction to be held on October 28 in Kochi. This news agency had previously reported that the clash with matches in Sri Lanka was a major reason behind a majority of England players opting against registering for the auction and the subsequent WPL season. England could have five players at the next WPL. The decision of other players whether or not to enter the auction is a personal decision, and this is the choice they have made. With Sri Lanka today announcing the schedule for the tour there next year, it means there will be some international cricket taking place during the latter stages of the WPL, further said the source. England could have five players at the next WPL. The decision of other players whether or not to enter the auction is a personal decision, and this is the choice they have made.

Odisha to showcase chemical, petrochemical investment potential at India Chem 2026
Digital Desk | Bhubaneswar, Oct 21 (IANS) Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi is scheduled to leave for Mumbai on Wednesday to attend India Chem 2026, India's flagship biennial event for the chemicals and petrochemicals industry, which begins on Thursday. According to an official statement, CM Majhi will participate in the inaugural session and the CEO Roundtable, which will be chaired by Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilisers J.P. Nadda, during his two-day visit to Mumbai. It noted that Chief Minister's visit will focus on attracting fresh investments and strengthening Odisha's position as an emerging industrial destination in the chemical and petrochemical sectors. The State's participation will highlight its industrial strengths, investment-ready infrastructure, progressive policies and growing ecosystem for chemical and petrochemical manufacturing. The programme will provide an important platform for Odisha to engage directly with industry leaders, present new investment opportunities and explore partnerships for the next phase of industrial growth, the state government said in the statement. During the visit, Chief Minister Majhi is scheduled to hold one-to-one meetings with leading representatives of the chemical and petrochemical industries, with discussions planned with more than 20 major companies. These interactions will focus on potential investments, industrial expansion, downstream manufacturing and opportunities to establish new industrial ventures in Odisha. A key highlight of the state's participation will be a presentation on coal gasification project, an emerging area of industrial opportunity for Odisha. The state is also likely to announce the establishment of a dedicated, large-scale chemical industrial park as part of its efforts to strengthen the industrial ecosystem, promote value addition, and attract investments across the chemical, petrochemical, plastics, and packaging segments. Odisha will participate alongside Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, reflecting the growing importance of states in shaping India's chemical and petrochemical manufacturing landscape. The event will provide Odisha with an opportunity to demonstrate its capabilities and strengthen engagement with domestic and international industry stakeholders. While states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, and others have established themselves as major chemical and petrochemical hubs over several decades, Odisha is positioning itself as a leading investment destination in the chemical and petrochemical sector, leveraging its rich resource base, industrial infrastructure, and supportive policy framework. The state's established strengths in mining and metallurgy provide a strong foundation for expanding into downstream chemical and petrochemical industries, promoting value addition, and attracting investments in higher-value manufacturing. Speaking about state's participation at India Chem 2026, Hemant Sharma, Additional Chief Secretary of Industries department, said, Odisha has a strong industrial foundation, and we are now focused on expanding our presence in high-potential sectors such as chemicals and petrochemicals. Our participation at India Chem 2026 will provide an opportunity to engage directly with leading companies, present the state's investment opportunities and explore partnerships for future growth. With our industrial infrastructure, progressive policies and resource advantages, we are working to build a competitive ecosystem for chemical and petrochemical industries. The proposed dedicated large chemical industrial park and our focus on coal gasification will further strengthen this effort and open up new avenues for investment, value addition and employment generation, he added.

Rubio tours Jamnagar as US courts Reliance
Jamnagar, Gujarat: Almost the entire Ambani family led by billionaire tycoon Mukesh Ambani welcomed the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at Jamnagar on Wednesday, as he began a tour of the world's largest single-site refinery.Rubio arrived in Jamnagar a day after calling India a crude-refining superpower and urging more processing of Venezuelan crude there.The day also included a visit to Reliance's Vantara animal-rescue centre and giga factories being developed by the conglomerate. USAmbIndia (@USAmbIndia) The visit puts a private industrial empire at the centre of US-India energy diplomacy, analysts said.Officials have described the Ambani-hosted programme as a private visit. It comes as US diesel prices surge ahead of the mid-term elections.No details of the visit were released by either side.Rubio was welcomed by Ambani, chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries Ltd, his wife Nita and children Isha and Anant, people familar with the visit said.Akash Ambani, Mukesh Ambani's eldest son and managing director of Jio Platforms, was overseeing the opening of the telecom giant's initial public offering (IPO).Reliance's Jamnagar complex can process 1.4 million barrels of crude a day and is the world's largest and most complex single-site refinery. Its fuel exports make it a hub for global supply.Rubio told Reliance-owned Network 18 that Washington wants to work more closely with Reliance on refining energy from the Western Hemisphere, calling that helpful to both countries.Reliance is already a key player in Washington's oil diplomacy. It is the biggest buyer of Venezuelan crude after the US itself, at a time when Washington is urging India to buy more, the people said.Reliance's proposed Texas refinery adds a reciprocal dimension to its energy ties with the US.US President Donald Trump recently announced that Reliance is partnering to build a new 168,000 barrels-a-day refinery project in Brownsville, Texas.While Washington is seeking to encourage more processing of Western Hemisphere crude at Jamnagar, the Indian conglomerate is also positioning itself to handle US oil closer to its source.The plant is designed to process US-produced light shale crude and would be the first major new US refinery in about five decades if completed.Besides the refinery, Rubio also visited Vantara.Reliance Industries and Reliance Foundation-run Vantara is a rescue, rehabilitation and conservation programme spread over 3,000 acres in Jamnagar. It sits within the green belt of the refinery complex and was conceived by Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani.The centre houses more than 2,000 animals across 43 species and employs about 2,100 care-givers and conservationists. It says it has rescued more than 200 elephants and thousands of other animals, reptiles and birds.The other stop on Rubio's visit was the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex - Reliance's integrated clean-energy manufacturing hub at Jamnagar, covering solar, storage, fuel cells, electrolysers and power electronics. It is being built on a 5,000-acre site at an expected cost of Rs 75,000 crore (about USD 10 billion).The US Secretary of State arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday, where External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar hosted him for wide-ranging talks on bilateral cooperation.Ahead of the meeting, Rubio described India as a crude oil refining superpower and advocated for processing more Venezuelan crude in India.He also urged India to scale up energy trade with the US and increase purchases of American technologies and defence systems.For Washington, Jamnagar offers a way to turn Western Hemisphere crude into diesel at scale, a pressing concern before the midterms, analysts said.For Reliance, the visit is validation, and a chance to show the US it is an investor as well as a buyer, they said.For New Delhi, it comes as both governments try to settle their differences. Rubio said only a small number of items remain unresolved on a trade deal.

Richa Chadha traces Mumbais journey from a cluster of islands to a financial capital in Musafiri
Richa Chadha explores Mumbais transformation from a group of islands into one of Indias leading financial centres in the latest episode of Musafiri. The episode takes viewers through the historic streets of South Mumbai, tracing the role of traders, colonial administrators and philanthropists in shaping the citys economic and cultural landscape. The episode revisits key moments in Mumbais history, beginning with the transfer of the Bombay islands to the British Crown in 1661 as part of the marriage settlement of Catherine of Braganza and King Charles II. It also looks at the contribution of Gerald Aungier, the second Governor of Bombay, whose policies encouraged trade and attracted communities to the growing port city. Aungier is widely regarded as one of the key figures in the development of early Bombay. His efforts to promote commerce and engage with local communities helped establish the foundations for the citys subsequent growth. The episode also explores Mumbais emergence as a centre of trade and finance. From merchants gathering under a banyan tree to the establishment of what became the Bombay Stock Exchange, the citys commercial history reflects its connections with global markets. The programme examines the role of the cotton and opium trades in building fortunes during the colonial period. Among the personalities featured are David Sassoon, Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy and Premchand Roychand. Their contributions to the city extended beyond business, with philanthropy playing an important role in the development of educational institutions, hospitals and public landmarks. Richa Chadha on understanding Mumbais history Speaking about the episode, Richa Chadha said she wanted to look beyond Mumbais reputation for energy, ambition and opportunity to explore the history that shaped the city. Whenever we talk about Mumbai, we talk about its energy, its opportunities and the people who come here to build a life. But I think it is equally important to understand the history behind the city we know today. Mumbais rise was shaped by trade, migration and people who built fortunes, but also by those who gave back to society through schools, hospitals and public institutions, she said. The actor also raised questions about the relationship between wealth and social responsibility, drawing attention to the role philanthropy played in Mumbais development. It makes you wonder whether wealth today carries the same sense of responsibility. A city is not built by money alone; it is built by the people who live in it, contribute to it and make it what it is. Through Musafiri, I want to explore these lesser-known stories and look at Mumbai through a perspective we may not always stop to consider, Chadha added. Musafiri explores the stories behind Mumbai With this episode, Musafiri continues to examine lesser-known aspects of Mumbais history and the people who helped shape its development. By revisiting the citys trading communities, influential business figures and philanthropic contributions, the programme looks at how its economic growth has been connected to wider social and cultural changes. The episode also invites viewers to consider how the legacy of those who helped build Mumbai continues to influence the city, particularly when it comes to the relationship between wealth and giving back to society.

Bhuvneshwar Will Be 'rubbing His Hands', Arshdeep Can Trouble Allen, Says Pamment
With Hardik Pandya: Bhuvneshwar Kumar will be rubbing his hands at the prospect of bowling in early-season New Zealand conditions, while Arshdeep Singh can use his left-arm angle to trouble Finn Allen, according to former Mumbai Indians fielding coach James Pamment. Both Bhuvneshwar and Arshdeep were a part of Indias 1-0 T20I series win in New Zealand in 2022 and the duo are now back for the five-game series starting in Christchurch on Thursday. While Arshdeep has now established himself in the T20I team, Bhuvneshwar is coming after making his first appearance for India in the shortest format in four years in the rained out series decider against the West Indies in Bengaluru. He will look to put in good performances, as well as guide the younger fast bowling crop in the matches in Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington and Hamilton. It's a talented team bowling group that the Indians have got and that Bhuvi's back, so by seeing these conditions, Bhuvi will be rubbing his hands while coming back into the Indian team and playing in these conditions. He will get the ball to move around, and obviously, he gets the natural swing as well. So, I'm really excited to see Bhuvi back in this team. Arshdeep Singh, top quality pacer. If he hits his form, lines and lengths, he'll prove some real issues, especially somebody like Finn Allen, who does struggle with quality left-hand swing bowling, Pamment told IANS in an exclusive conversation. His plan for the rest of the Indian fast bowling attack is sticking to a Test-match length, constant aggression and a short ball aimed at the badge of the helmet, because New Zealand's top order will punish anything passive. I think initially it'll be almost honing in on that Test match length - that top of off, and top of fourth stump length. But just being extra aggressive, making sure they're really aggressive the whole time, because if they're passive, these New Zealand guys will attack them, especially these guys like Seifert and Allen, Conway, very good players of the short ball as well. But I will be encouraging the boys to bowl short, but make sure they're on the money and make sure they're aiming the badge of the helmet and the back shoulder, and when they're not doing that, make sure that you get the top of the fourth and fifth stump. Its because as long as they're doing that with lots of aggression, they'll be in the game, and have a chance to nick good players off when the wicket's assisting, and the boys behind the wicket hopefully will be ready with their hands nice and warm to catch those catches. Then there is the small matter of staying on their toes to adapt to various conditions, says Pamment. But I think one of the biggest things will be gaining confidence that you can run in on a lush green surface and probably bring some moisture with your boots with you into your landing position. So make sure you've got the long springs on and full confidence that when you do plant your foot into the surface that your feet are going to stick there. I've seen a lot of overseas teams come to New Zealand in all stages throughout the year, and not make that adaptation, because the outfields are lush, green, and they do gather moisture. So you've got to make sure that your springs in the bottom of your boots are there to hold you so that you can confidently brace hard and get stuck into bowling good hard lines and lengths, and then once you get through that phase where the ball stops moving around a little bit, it's remaining extremely aggressive, making sure you're using your short ball, and setting fields accordingly. Three of these grounds are of reasonable sizes, so you will be able to use your short ball with confidence that it's not going to top edge and fly out of the ground, but there are a couple of those venues as well that are quite small, and we will see top edges flying for six or something. You've just got to accept that and move on and get ready for the next ball if that does happen, he explained. As per Pamment, a Yorkshire native who moved to New Zealand early in his career and played 14 first-class and 33 List A games for Auckland from 1993 to 1996 and later coached Northern Districts domestic team, India's batters face the flip side of the adaptation, especially for the attacking left-handers at the top of the order. How they adapt to that, and how they're very selective - we know, especially the left-handers at the top, they like to hit balls for six, don't they? Regardless of who it is, whether it's the young man Vaibhav or whether it's Ishan or Abhishek, we know that they take it on, and T20 cricket demands that you take it on. But I'd be encouraging those guys just to try and make sure they adapt to conditions, they understand conditions, that it's going to be relentless in terms of New Zealand will come with a number of seam bowling options, different varying paces, obviously Milne and Ferguson, high pace. The other boys perhaps not reaching that pace, but still very skillful, tall and bouncy - Blair Tickner, Kyle Jamieson, they're tall guys. So while they're not quite as quick, they still demand that you've got to be able to play between your chest and head, and they will test them out. I'm sure the boys, once they get settled in New Zealand, but they haven't got a lot of time. I know they've arrived over the last couple of days. If they're smart, they'll be spending the next couple of days working on that type of thing, because that's what's going to come their way. With Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah both missing the T20Is due to injuries and workload management, respectively, Pamment sees the gaps as a chance for others to stake a claim. Obviously, when you lose two world-class players, any team in the world who lose two world-class players of that nature, from your white-ball team, World Cup winners, IPL winners, serial performers at top level - it's always difficult to fill that void. But what it does, it provides opportunities for others. Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav, they have the opportunity to come and showcase what they can do in conditions which should suit them. While experience-wise, they might not be at that level, they're going to get some things that are in their favour. So, let's see how they utilise that. Nitish Kumar Reddy is another one who has been given opportunities as that all-rounder, as obviously Shivam Dube. I know they haven't used Shivam too much with the ball, but he's definitely dangerous with the bat. So, Nitish is having another opportunity with Hardik Pandya missing five T20I games here. Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav, they have the opportunity to come and showcase what they can do in conditions which should suit them. While experience-wise, they might not be at that level, they're going to get some things that are in their favour. So, let's see how they utilise that.

India Are Going To Get 'a Bit Of A Shock' In Cold, Dark New Zealand, Says Pamment
T20 World Cup: India's players are in for a bit of a shock when the T20I series in New Zealand gets underway, according to former Mumbai Indians fielding coach James Pamment, citing the games starting at 8pm in near darkness and temperatures expected to hover around ten degrees. International sides have rarely toured this early in the New Zealand summer in recent years, pointed out Pamment, who briefly worked as the Black Caps assistant coach and is coming off a fielding coach stint with the Bangladesh senior mens team. Yes, it is very early in the New Zealand cricketing summer, so it's almost unparalleled, really. I can think of the top of my head over the last few years where international teams have been in New Zealand at this time of year, but certainly not India. Yes, it will be a bit of a shock for the Indian boys, when they do get here and be involved in the conditions, especially in the T20 games. They start at 8pm New Zealand standard time. So it's going to be almost dark in most of the venues at that time, and it will be, I guess, around the 10 degrees mark. It'll be cold, there will be dew, and I think the conditions will certainly suit seam bowling for those T20 fixtures, Pamment told IANS in an exclusive conversation. The hosts are hardly match-hardened either, with the series starting even before New Zealand's domestic season begins. It's the same for both teams, and I guess the New Zealand boys will probably be a little bit more used to it. But we haven't had any domestic cricket this season yet in New Zealand. So for this series to be starting before domestic cricket starts is quite unique. Obviously a lot of the boys are playing in different leagues around the world, and a number of them have been on A tours as well. So it's not like they're shy of cricket, but it's playing in these types of conditions and getting used to those times I think will be the biggest challenge, and you can tell how New Zealand think about the wickets and conditions, because they've picked eight seamers in their squad of 16 for the T20Is. It means they think that seam bowling is going to play a large part in the series, added Pamment. Asked how the pitches in New Zealand would compare with the flat surfaces India, the reigning T20 World Cup holders, recently played against the West Indies in the drawn 2-2 series, Pamment predicted a fairer fight between bat and ball to happen. New Zealand's been very good at preparing good cricket wickets for their T20 fixtures over the last few years. While it will benefit some seam bowling, we know with the white ball that if you use it really wisely in the first three-four overs, you can gain a bit of traction in the game. But if you don't use it well, the wickets will be conducive to shot making, but there will obviously be a little bit more assistance than I guess the wickets that the Indian team played against the West Indies in your home country. They've been pretty flat surfaces and very batsmen dominant, whereas there'll be more of a contest between bowler and batter in these games here right through. Where India could really be caught out in T20Is, Pamment believes, is in the fielding, which has been the biggest point of concern. There's nothing like spending time at a venue to get used to the conditions. It's certainly going to be dewy, cold, and obviously, the light situation is very different from venue to venue. I know they'll use four different venues in the T20 series with Hagley having two games, and you just can't be spending time preparing. But these days, these guys don't get much time to go and train at a venue, as pretty much you arrive two days out, train one day out, and then you play, and move on. So they have to be very confident in their basics. But different venues come with different variables, and it's very difficult to get used to it, and I certainly when I was involved in the IPL with Mumbai Indians, I used to really try and encourage guys, especially if they haven't played at those venues before, to try and replicate what they were likely to experience in the game the following evening. So it's just to get to know your fielding position, how the ball runs towards you if it's coming on the ground, and get used to the flat catches that come at different levels, and obviously, the high catches when they leave and come back into the light towers, he explained. He has seen first-hand what unfamiliar lights can do to a fielding unit, during his time with Bangladesh in last years Asia Cup in Dubai, which India won. It's going to be really important that if guys want to be competent fielders, they do that type of work so that they don't let the team down. To be honest, I haven't really seen too many of the performances, I've seen the scorecards of the Indians. I know they've had a change of coach recently with their fielding specific responsibilities. Obviously I was with Bangladesh this time last year when they were at the Asia Cup, and they really struggled with the stadium there in Dubai, where the lights around the edge of the grandstand rather than the towers. So it's all about practising and getting used to sighting the ball nice and early and then backing yourself. These guys are all very competent fielders, but sometimes concentration and confidence can impact on performance, and definitely if the fielding conditions are challenging, so it's a wet ball and slippery ground, then that can impact on their performance as well. Whatever the weather, the crowds look set to turn up for the games in New Zealand, especially with more than 85,000 tickets sold out so far in the multi-format series. Let's see, all the grounds are in previous years in New Zealand, we used to have venues that were rugby grounds as well as cricket grounds, and there's only one of those grounds - maybe two actually, that have been used for the T20 series. But rugby's long finished in those venues - so they will be ready to host cricket and certainly the interest is incredible for this time of the year as well. A lot of people have been buying tickets in advance.

Little 'shocked' With Jayawardenes Exit From MI, Pollard Can Be A Successor, Says Pamment
Former Mumbai Indians: Former Mumbai Indians fielding coach James Pamment said he was a little bit shocked over Mahela Jayawardene stepping down as the franchise's head coach and backed Kieron Pollard to take over the role. Last week, Jayawardene stepped down as MI head coach, which ended his second stint in charge of the five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions, after having guided them to three titles during his first spell from 2017 to 2022. Pamment, who worked alongside Jayawardene at MI while being there for eight years, said he had not seen this development coming. I was a little bit shocked actually when I saw at the weekend that Mahela had decided to step down. I enjoyed a lot of years working alongside Mahela. So passionate about Mumbai Indians, so passionate about the performance of the team as well. He was so passionate about helping develop the players, especially the Indian players to go on and be significant players to play for India as well, which a number of those guys are now when coming on this trip to New Zealand. So, I was surprised. I'm sort of out of the loop now. So, I'm not sure what the inner workings are - so let's see, Pamment told IANS in an exclusive conversation. He also felt Pollard, the big-hitting batter who began his IPL playing career at MI and began his coaching career as the franchises batting coach, does stand out among the potential candidates. Really, other than Kieron Pollard, I'm not sure who could take over. There's been lots of names mentioned, but for me, if Kieron feels he's ready to take it on, he'd be the man I'd give the job to. But I've heard about (Mike) Hussey, or this, that and the other people But there's a guy there who bleeds blue and gold. He started his coaching career there and once again, if he can put the good people around him, I think he's a guy who would have respect from the players. He's definitely got the knowledge about playing T20 cricket, especially in the IPL. But let's see - the owners might have something else in mind, added Pamment. MI have less than a month to appoint a new head coach before the retention deadline for IPL 2027 arrives ahead of the mini auction happening in Goa on December 16. Zaheer, who worked with Jayawardene as director of cricket operations at MI, has begun his role at the helm of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) after long-serving head coach Stephen Fleming left. It is the former India fast bowler's first head coach role and Pamment felt the timing will help Zaheer have a key say in shaping the squad retention and auction picks. It's going to be an interesting time for Zaheer here with Chennai. So, I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes. Retentions and squad building is something that is really important. I guess it's your foundation for your season ahead. So, if they feel they need to make changes and they need to have some additions, then this is a really important time to try and get the players on board that you feel that you need. It is the former India fast bowler's first head coach role and Pamment felt the timing will help Zaheer have a key say in shaping the squad retention and auction picks. It's going to be an interesting time for Zaheer here with Chennai. So, I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS

Tiger Shroff firing case: Shooters surveyed homes of Big B, Salman Khan, other stars
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 21 (IANS) The accused in the firing case involving actor Tiger Shroff had reportedly conducted reconnaissance of the residences of several Bollywood celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, before the attack, according to sources in the Mumbai Crime Branch. The shooters were reportedly instructed to target celebrities whose security arrangements were relatively less stringent. During the reconnaissance, different auto-rickshaw drivers had also taken the accused to the residences of several celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan. It is learnt that the accused would ask auto-rickshaw drivers, whose services they used to get around Mumbai, to show them the homes of Bollywood stars. The accused allegedly told the drivers that they wanted to take pictures of the celebrities' residences. Subsequently, different auto-rickshaw drivers took them to the homes of several actors. During this period, an auto-rickshaw driver reportedly informed the accused that actor Tiger Shroff, son of Bollywood star Jackie Shroff, visited a football ground in Juhu every Sunday to play football. Following this information, the accused reached the football ground on October 11, but Tiger Shroff did not visit the venue that day. The accused then returned to the same ground the following Sunday, October 18. This time, they were carrying firearms. It was during this visit that firing was carried out at Tigers vehicle. According to the police, some other individuals had also travelled to Mumbai from Haryana during the same period. They allegedly conducted reconnaissance before returning to Haryana. After the attack on Tiger, the accused discarded both firearms at an unidentified location while leaving Mumbai. According to police sources, the attackers had used one foreign-made pistol and one country-made pistol in the attack. The accused reportedly did not have much information about the type of foreign-made pistol they had used. On October 20, the initial questioning of the accused revealed some significant information that the 'Baaghi' actor was not the primary target. The Mumbai Police is now tasked with tracing the location where the firearms were discarded. It was on October 18 when Tiger escaped after three motorcycle-borne men opened fire at his car in the Juhu area of Mumbai. Within hours of the incident, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang shared a post on social media, taking responsibility for the attack. The accused reportedly learned through social media reels shared by Tiger's fans that he did not have police protection at that time and keeping this in mind, they decided to target him. During the preliminary questioning, it was also revealed that the attack on Tiger was intended to spread fear in the industry. Several members of the film industry, including Amaal Mallik, Mika Singh, Vidyut Jammwal, Shatrughan Sinha, and Ravi Kishan have raised their concern following the incident.
