Tiger Shroff shooting suspect emerges from clean record to face extortion charges

Anil Pandit, believed to be the individual behind Sunday's firing at actor Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai's upscale Juhu locality, maintained a clean criminal record until 2023 before his involvement in an escalating series of criminal matters. The suspect, now in his early 30s, claimed responsibility for the incident through social media posts following the shooting at the Bollywood actor's vehicle. Police sources indicate that Pandit's alleged criminal activities have since expanded significantly, with authorities now seeking him in connection with at least 12 extortion cases. The sharp escalation in his alleged criminal involvement within a compressed timeframe has raised questions about the circumstances that prompted his entry into criminal activity. Investigators are actively pursuing the suspect as part of their ongoing inquiry into both the high-profile shooting incident and the multiple extortion cases linked to his name.
