MCOCA court remands 12th accused in Tiger Shroff firing till 6 Nov
The Story in Brief
A special MCOCA court in Mumbai on Saturday (31 October) remanded Amar Mundiya, the 12th accused in the 18 October firing on actor Tiger Shroff’s car, to police custody until 6 November. Mundiya was arrested from Rohna village in Haryana’s Sonipat district. Police told the court he transferred money from his bank account to other co-accused, funds allegedly used to buy a motorcycle and book hotel rooms linked to the case.
According to the prosecution, Kunal, a earlier arrested accused, transferred Rs 40,000 to Mundiya’s account, Mundiya then transferred Rs 12,000 to Radha, another accused, on Kunal’s instructions. Defence lawyer Ajinkya Mirgal argued that obtaining banking details does not require custodial interrogation and that police were citing identical grounds repeatedly. Special Judge Pradhan held that Mundiya’s presence was necessary for the investigation, citing MCOCA charges. Nine of the 12 arrested accused are from Sonipat.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All six outlets report the same set of facts: Amar Mundiya was remanded to police custody till 6 November for allegedly transferring money used in the 18 October firing on actor Tiger Shroff. dtnext, India Today and Rediff quote defence lawyer Ajinkya Mirgal’s argument that repeated identical grounds do not require custodial interrogation, while NDTV and The Hans India omit the defence objection entirely. Times of India and The Hans India add the family’s innocence claim and the detail that nine of 12 arrested accused are from Sonipat, framing the event as a local nexus. The core variation is that three outlets (NDTV, Hans India, Times of India) treat the remand as routine, while three (dtnext, India Today, Rediff) foreground the prosecution-defence contest, but no source is critical of the state.
