Hyderabad: The Mumbai Police have arrested a 12th accused in the firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car, taking the total number of arrests in the case to 12. The latest accused, identified as Amar, was arrested from Rohna village in Haryana's Sonipat district.
Amar's arrest has brought the number of people arrested from Sonipat to nine. According to the investigation, he is a friend and neighbour of Kunal, another accused arrested earlier in the case.
Police are examining financial transactions between the accused. Investigators found that Kunal allegedly transferred Rs 40,000 to Amar's bank account. Amar then transferred Rs 12,000 to the bank account of Radha, another accused in the case, allegedly on Kunal's instructions. The police are investigating the purpose of these transfers and the links between the accused.
Amar, who studied up to Class 10, works at a supplements shop. His parents reportedly earn their livelihood as daily-wage labourers. After his arrest, he was produced before a court, and the Mumbai Police are preparing to take him to Mumbai on transit remand for further investigation.
Meanwhile, Amar's family has claimed that he is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the case.
