The October 21 news cycle delivered two developments Bollywood fans will want to track. The investigation into the firing case involving Tiger Shroff has widened with fresh arrests, while Ramayana: Part 1 has picked up a state-level tax waiver days before its theatrical release.
Four more held in Tiger Shroff firing investigation
Delhi Police’s Special Cell arrested four additional accused on Tuesday. The arrests follow the earlier apprehension of three suspected shooters in Kota. The new accused—two of them women, according to news updates—are suspected of moving a firearm to Mumbai and helping coordinate the operation linked to the attack on Tiger Shroff.
Investigators are now probing what they suspect is a wider network that may be targeting film stars. That angle makes this more than a one-off crime story: it raises fresh questions about how film security and police coordination work when a star is threatened.
Ramayana: Part 1 gets a tax-free tag in Bengal
With the film set to open on November 5, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced that Ramayana: Part 1 has been made tax-free in the state. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash.
“The Ramayana film has been made tax-free.”
He also linked the step to earlier tax-free decisions for The Kerala Story, The Kashmir Files and The Bengal Files, and flagged that more films on Shri Krishna, Arjuna and the Mahabharata may follow.
For fans, a tax-free tag usually means cheaper tickets. For the producers, it can widen the audience base in one state during the crucial opening weekend.
What to know at a glance
