New CCTV footage has emerged in the investigation into the October 18 firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai’s Juhu area. The footage reportedly shows three suspects leaving an Andheri hotel, with one carrying a blue bag suspected to contain a pistol. Two others allegedly departed on a yellow motorcycle shortly afterwards. The firing injured Shroff’s driver and another person, while the actor escaped unharmed. Mumbai Police are examining the footage to reconstruct the suspects’ movements and trace the weapons. Three key accused have been remanded to police custody until October 31.

Mumbai Police investigating the October 18 firing outside actor Tiger Shroff’s Juhu residence have found that the two alleged shooters also conducted reconnaissance at the homes of Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, according to Hindustan Times.

Investigators believe Shroff was selected because he lacked security cover. Three additional arrests in Sonipat brought the total to ten. Police are probing alleged weapons supplies, logistics and accomplice networks, while firearms and the accused’s mobile phones remain unrecovered.

Actor Imran Khan, an American citizen and Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cardholder, will challenge the Foreigners Regional Registration Office’s (FRRO) order directing him to leave India by October 28 in the Bombay High Court. Lawyer Zulfiqar Memon will file the petition. Khan was detained after participating in a Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest in Mumbai demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation.

The FRRO issued a notice under the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, asserting that OCI status does not permit foreigners to participate in protests. Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi opposed the move.

Singer Chinmayi Sripaada has criticised people praising actor Nana Patekar after his death. “Those who are constantly singing praises of Nana Patekar need to acknowledge he had molested and it was NOT a one-time behaviour,” she wrote on X.

Actor Tanushree Dutta had accused Nana of sexual harassment during the 2009 film 'Horn ‘Ok’ Pleassss'. Nana denied the allegations. The case was closed in 2019 due to a lack of sufficient evidence. Criminal proceedings were dismissed in 2025.
