Taking to her Instagram stories, Bebo shared a photo and wrote, “A reminder that good will always triumph over evil Happy Dussehra.” Hema Malini also took to her X handle to wish fans and wrote, “Happy Dussehra to all! Let us celebrate the triumph of good over evil as we did the victory of Lord Ram over Ravan or the triumph of Ma Durga over the evil Mahishasura. Let us bid goodbye to our ego and all negative thoughts from our lives and concentrate on leaving this world a better place for future generation.”

Anil Kapoor marked the occasion by sharing a picture of Lord Rama and extended Dussehra wishes to his followers with the message, “Happy Dussehra.”

Madhuri Dixit also extended her Dussehra wishes to fans, joining several other celebrities in celebrating the festival.

Actors from the Telugu film industry, including Chiranjeevi, also took to social media to extend their Dussehra wishes to fans. Extending his greetings, Chiranjeevi wrote, “Symbol of victory achieved by good over evil – Victory on Vijayadashami. With the blessings of that Divine Mother, may every home overflow with happiness and joy, and may every good endeavor you undertake be successful – I sincerely wish this from the bottom of my heart. Dussehra greetings to you and all your family members #HappyDussehra.”

Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is celebrated across the country to commemorate the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana and symbolize the triumph of righteousness over evil. The festival also marks the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura in several parts of India.

The occasion holds special significance as people come together to celebrate the victory of good over evil.

Bollywood star Jackie Shroff made his first public appearance following the attack on his son, actor Tiger Shroff.

The actor was seen attending the naming and unveiling ceremony of Bappi Lahiri Marg in Mumbai.

The actor was present at the event held in honour of legendary singer and composer Bappi Lahiri. The road has been named after the late musician, who lived in the locality for 45 years, in recognition of his association with the area and his contribution to Indian music.

Actors Poonam Dhillon, Suniel Shetty, Sharad Kelkar and Gulshan Grover were also among those who attended the ceremony.

Jackie Shroff was seen wearing a white outfit at the event. His appearance came in the wake of the firing incident involving his son, Tiger Shroff, which has shook the industry.

For the uninitiated, the firing incident took place in Mumbai’s Juhu area on October 18, when unidentified assailants on a motorcycle allegedly opened fire at the car carrying Tiger Shroff.

The actor escaped unhurt, while his driver and a passerby sustained injuries. The incident occurred as Tiger was leaving after a football-related outing.

Following the incident, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited the actor’s house to check upon his whereabouts.

Earlier strongly condemning the incident, Eknath Shinde, had described it as deeply concerning and assured that those responsible would face strict action.

He said he had spoken to the Mumbai Police Commissioner, who has formed strong teams to track down and apprehend the accused.

“Our current priority is to keep Mumbai and its citizens safe. Whether it is a celebrity or an ordinary citizen, ensuring their safety is the responsibility of both the police and the government. There will be no laxity in this regard, and no gang, whoever they may be, will be spared,” Eknath Shinde said while interacting with the media.

The firing incident is under investigation by Mumbai Police.

The three suspects held in connection with the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai will be taken to Mumbai, Maharashtra, by the Mumbai Police on Tuesday. The suspects were kept overnight in the lock-up of the Kota Railway Colony police station in Rajasthan under tight security amid concerns over their possible escape.

As a precautionary measure, commandos and armed personnel were deployed at the police station.

The entire CCTV surveillance network of the police station was connected to a command centre to ensure continuous monitoring of the suspects and strengthen security arrangements.

City Superintendent of Police Tejaswini Gautam also visited the Railway Colony police station late Monday night to review the security arrangements. The Mumbai Police had earlier postponed the transfer of the suspects from Kota due to security concerns.

The three remained in custody throughout the night under heightened surveillance.

According to the police, the three suspects were apprehended by Kota Police at the railway station on Monday in connection with the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai. The suspects were travelling on the Pune-Jaipur train (12939) and were found sitting at different locations in a general coach.

Their movements and travel plans allegedly indicated that they were attempting to evade arrest after the incident. Investigators believe the suspects had planned to reach Jaipur by train, travel onward to Delhi by bus and then escape to Nepal. However, Kota Police intercepted them at the railway station before they could proceed with their alleged plan.

Following their apprehension, the suspects were taken to the Railway Colony police station, where security was significantly tightened in view of the sensitivity of the case and the possibility of an escape attempt.

The Mumbai Police are scheduled to leave Kota with the three suspects on Tuesday for further investigation into the firing incident. The transfer is expected to enable investigators to question them further and establish their alleged roles in the case.

The deployment of armed personnel, enhanced CCTV monitoring, and the presence of senior police officials underline the security measures adopted by Kota Police while the suspects remained in custody.

Further details about the investigation and the circumstances surrounding the firing incident are expected to emerge as the Mumbai Police proceed with the case.
