Patna, October 19, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The reported involvement of a man identified as Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan, a native of Bihar’s Begusarai district, in a shooting case linked to actor Tiger Shroff has caused concern among his family members, who have denied that the person shown in a photograph circulating in connection with the case is their son.
The identity of the person reportedly arrested in connection with the case has not been officially confirmed. Begusarai police have also not issued a statement establishing any link between the alleged suspect and the district.
Meanwhile, local police have begun inquiries to verify the man’s identity, family background and address.
According to family members, Hrithik is the son of Ramu Mahto. His ancestral home is in Badalpura village, under the jurisdiction of Matihani police station, while his family currently lives in Dumri, which falls under Singhaul police station.
The family reportedly built a house on an eight-dhur plot in Ward No. 7 of Dumri around two years ago. The house has two shutters and an entrance fitted with an iron grille.
Hrithik’s father runs a rented shop in the Pipra area, selling food items such as litti and samosas, along with cosmetics. The family reportedly relies mainly on the shop for its livelihood and has limited financial resources.
According to relatives, Hrithik previously worked as a cook with a catering service in Delhi before moving to Mumbai around three months ago. However, his family has limited information about his employment, activities and associates in the city.
Hrithik is reportedly the elder of two brothers. Family members said they had been unable to contact him for around 10 days because his mobile phone had remained switched off.
The appearance of his name in media reports about the Mumbai shooting case has heightened the family’s anxiety. They are trying to establish his whereabouts and determine whether the person mentioned in the reports is actually their son.
His mother reportedly said she did not recognise him in the photograph circulating in connection with the case. The family has also stated that it does not possess identification documents that could conclusively establish his identity.
Police personnel visited the family’s residence in Dumri to gather information about Hrithik’s background and recent movements.
Ganesh Shankar, station house officer of Ratanpur police station, questioned family members about Hrithik’s employment in Delhi, his subsequent move to Mumbai and the period during which they had been unable to contact him.
According to information attributed to SP Manish, the absence of identification documents has complicated efforts to verify the reported connection.
However, the police visit and inquiries at the family’s residence do not establish that Hrithik has been arrested or that he is the individual involved in the Mumbai firing case.
The reported Begusarai connection has generated local interest, but key questions remain unanswered, including Hrithik’s current whereabouts and whether the person identified in media reports is actually Hrithik Kumar alias Roshan.
Until the authorities officially establish the identity of the person arrested, the reported connection should be treated with caution. The family’s denial and the absence of official confirmation mean that no definitive conclusion can be drawn at this stage.
Further clarity is expected once police verify the individual’s identity and establish the facts surrounding the alleged connection to the Mumbai shooting case.
