CM Fadnavis strict regarding attack on Tiger Shroff
While talking to the media on Monday, Devendra Fadnavis described this incident as serious and condemnable. He said that Mumbai Police is busy getting to the bottom of the matter. Police have found some clues related to the attackers and some suspects have also been identified. The Chief Minister expressed hope that the accused would be arrested soon.
Earlier, after the incident on Sunday night, Fadnavis had called Tiger Shroff to inquire about his condition. He assured the actor that the government is with him and strict action will be taken against the culprits in the case.
'We will also search for those who sit at a distance and give instructions'
The Chief Minister said that the aim of the police is not only to reach those who carried out the attack, but those who were directing them from behind the scenes will also be caught. According to him, some criminals are operating from outside Maharashtra, while some are suspected to be abroad. To reach such people, help from police of other states and the central government will be taken. Fadnavis said that criminals try to carry out attacks secretly, but their such attempts will not be allowed to succeed.
#WATCH | Nagpur: Regarding the firing on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis says, "This is a very serious and condemnable matter. The Mumbai Police have taken it with the utmost seriousness. They have obtained certain clues, based on which they are currently working, and specific individuals have already been identified. These people will be arrested very soon. Furthermore, we will track down their masterminds who remain in hiding and issue orders from afar. It is important to note that none of these individuals operate from within Maharashtra; those who do operate from within the state have already been arrested. These perpetrators are operating from outside Maharashtra, or even from outside the country. By coordinating with the states from which they operate, and with the assistance of the Central Government regarding those operating from abroad, we will track them down and take strict action against them. I reiterate: these are cowardly individuals. They attempt to strike from the shadows, but their efforts will be thwarted."
