Summary
- A Haryana student was arrested in Indore for alleged role in firing at Tiger Shroff.

- Police are investigating his alleged involvement in weapon supply and conspiracy.
Mumbai Crime Branch officials arrested a 22-year-old engineering student from Sonipat, Haryana, in Indore on Saturday. The student, Pranjal Thakaran, was apprehended in the Pardeshipura area and is suspected of involvement in a conspiracy and weapon supply for a firing incident targeting actor Tiger Shroff.
Thakaran, the 11th suspect detained, was reportedly in contact with the individual alleged to have carried out the shooting outside Shroff's Juhu location on October 18. During this incident, five to six rounds were fired at Shroff's car, though the actor escaped unhurt. His driver and a vlogger sustained injuries.
Investigators are probing whether Thakaran provided any assistance to other accused, following claims of responsibility by an alleged Lawrence gang member on social media. This arrest is part of a wider investigation into threats and extortion attempts in the Indore region allegedly linked to overseas gang operatives, prompting the formation of a Special Investigation Team in Madhya Pradesh.
