Kota Police’s Dramatic 15-Minute Operation Leads to Arrest of Shroff Shooting Suspects
In Short
Kota Police arrested three suspects in the alleged firing at Tiger Shroff’s car during a 15-minute railway station operation, as Mumbai Police investigate possible gang links and threats.
The three suspects in the firing incident on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff were nabbed in a dramatic manner at Kota Railway Station this morning.
According to the information given by the police, the Railway Protection Force and Kota police were earlier alerted by the Mumbai police and launched an operation, which they successfully completed within 15 minutes. As the train stopped, they conducted a massive search of the train, and the three suspects, including a juvenile, were nabbed. Kota Police said that of the three preliminary inquiry revealed that two were trained shooters while one was a Rapido bike driver.
The video visuals showed that while two persons had fired at Tiger Shroff’s car, one was waiting on a bike, and after completing the task, they all escaped from the spot. The Bike was later reportedly found in Andheri in Mumbai.
As per the procedure, the three would now be handed over to Mumbai police, which had reached Kota, and they would take up further investigation.
In the meantime, another audio purportedly by Anil Pandit, who is alleged to be an operative of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in United States had gone viral in which he said that though Tiger Shroff escaped on Sunday, the attackers were in Mumbai and would not spare him.
Police feel that this is the part of modus operandi of such gangs and part of diversionary tactics. However, they are probing into the audio and trying to trace from where it had originated. The police does not want to ignore any lead or any threat in the form of audio or on other social media handles.
A Journey of Three Decades Time passes faster than we realise. What feels like a journey that began only yesterday has today grown into more than three decades of a meaningful and fulfilling life devoted to education, journalism, and the empowerment of young minds. My professional journey began with journalism training in New Delhi in 1979. I went on to work as an independent journalist, drawing on my fluency in both English and Telugu. Over the years, I have edited and worked on Telugu articles in both languages, an experience that strengthened my command of language and sharpened my understanding of society, people, and contemporary issues. Yet, my principal profession and enduring passion have always been teaching. My decision to become a teacher was not merely a career choice—it was a calling. Teaching offered me the rare privilege of inspiring young minds, guiding them through their formative years, and making a lasting difference in their lives. I found immense satisfaction in simplifying complex concepts, nurturing curiosity, encouraging independent thought, and building confidence among students. Every moment in the classroom—every question, every moment of discovery, and every spark of understanding—reminded me why I had chosen this path: to empower young people through knowledge, values, and essential life skills. My teaching career began at the grassroots level as a Montessori teacher and gradually progressed to the position of Vice Principal. I had the opportunity to work in reputed educational institutions, including Dilsukhnagar Public School in Hyderabad, where I shouldered both teaching and administrative responsibilities. Although I have always considered myself, at heart, a teacher, my administrative experience enabled me to understand and contribute to the education system from a much broader perspective. For my students, I have always tried to be an approachable and dependable presence—someone they could turn to not only for academic support, but also for guidance and emotional encouragement. At the same time, I developed a reputation as a firm disciplinarian who believed that integrity, fairness, responsibility, and discipline were fundamental to education. I was also consistently appreciated for maintaining clear communication with parents and staff and for ensuring that examinations and other academic processes were conducted with transparency, fairness, and efficiency. As my career progressed, however, I began to feel that academic education alone was not enough. This realization led me to work more closely with students following the SSC and CBSE curricula, while consciously bringing life-skills education into my teaching. I came to understand that education becomes truly meaningful when it prepares children not merely to pass examinations, but to face life. Teaching emotional resilience, self-reliance, social awareness, communication, decision-making, and other practical life skills often had a deeper and more lasting impact than academic achievement alone. I saw how these skills could help students navigate challenges with greater confidence, maturity, and responsibility. My academic background provided a strong foundation for this approach. My degree in Psychology from the University of Madras helped me develop a deeper understanding of young people's minds, their emotional needs, and the influence of their family and social environments. My M.A. in Telugu with First Class from Osmania University.
