Bishnoi Gang's Hit List: Salman, Amitabh, Aamir and Akshay Were Initial Targets
A chilling conspiracy reveals that Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and others were targets before the attack on Tiger Shroff.
A terrifying conspiracy has come to light following the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff. Police investigations have revealed that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang had initially plotted to target some of the biggest names in the Indian film industry, including Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, and Akshay Kumar, before shifting their focus to Shroff.
The California Connection and Digital Reconnaissance
According to police sources, the entire operation was orchestrated by gangster Anil Pandit, who is believed to be managing the plot from California. The shooters did not act blindly; they conducted extensive reconnaissance of the residences of the four superstar actors.
In a calculated move, the assailants recorded video footage of the homes of Bachchan, Khan, and Kumar. These videos were then transmitted directly to Anil Pandit to help the gang plan a precise strike. However, as the plot unfolded, the shooters encountered a significant hurdle: the impenetrable security layers surrounding these high-profile celebrities.
Why Tiger Shroff Became the Target
The investigation suggests that the gang eventually pivoted to Tiger Shroff because the security at the other actors' properties was deemed too tight to breach. The gang spent approximately seven days surveilling Shroff’s movements to find a vulnerability.
The shooters identified a specific window of opportunity based on the actor's predictable routine. They noticed that on Sundays, while heading to play football, Shroff's vehicle had minimal security detail, making him an easier target for the attack.
The Day of the Attack
The conspiracy culminated on October 18, 2026, near the JVPD Garden in Juhu. The firing incident left two people injured: the actor's driver, Firdosh, and an associate identified as Mar Chauhan.
The Manhunt and Arrests
The crackdown on the conspiracy has spanned multiple cities. While the police had previously arrested three suspects—Hritik, Rehan, and a minor—in Kota, the net has now tightened further.
In a recent operation, the Delhi Police Special Cell apprehended four more accomplices: Kunal, Sumit, Radha, and Babita. All the suspects have since been handed over to the Mumbai Police on transit remand. Investigators are now interrogating the group to uncover the full extent of the gang's extortion racket and the threats they had issued to the industry.
