BJP MP Ravi Kishan expresses shock over the shooting targeting Tiger Shroff in Mumbai. Get all the details on the attack and the government's response.
The entertainment industry and political circles are in shock following a daring attack on Bollywood star Tiger Shroff. Reacting to the news, BJP MP and actor Ravi Kishan has expressed his deep concern over the Tiger Shroff firing incident, calling it a serious matter that requires a thorough investigation.
Ravi Kishan Condemns the Attack
Speaking to the media at Patna airport, Ravi Kishan described the event as "deeply concerning" and "distressing." He emphasized that Tiger is an innocent individual and prayed for his protection, invoking Mahadev and Mata Rani.
Kishan expressed his complete confidence in the Maharashtra Police, stating that the culprits would be tracked down soon. He further asserted that those found guilty of this act should face the harshest possible punishment, noting that the Maharashtra government is leaving no stone unturned to solve the case.
The Night of the Attack
The terrifying incident unfolded in Mumbai's Juhu area around 7 pm on Sunday. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Mohit Garg, the attack occurred as Tiger Shroff was leaving a football club in his car. Unidentified assailants opened fire, sending shockwaves through the area.
While the actor narrowly escaped direct gunshot injuries, the attack was not without casualties. Two people were injured during the firing, including the actor's driver, who was reportedly struck by bullets.
Government Intervention and Injuries
Following the shooting, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Tiger Shroff's residence on Sunday night to check on his well-being and offer the state government's full support. During this visit, Tiger's mother, Ayesha Shroff, was also present.
Although he avoided bullets, photographs from the residence revealed that Tiger had dressings on his chest and shoulder, with a bandage on his right arm. Deputy CM Shinde clarified to reporters that the actor's injuries to his left hand were caused by gunpowder and shards of glass resulting from the attack.
"Hooliganism Will Not Be Tolerated"
Addressing the media after his meeting with the actor, Eknath Shinde condemned the violence, revealing that five rounds were fired during the incident. He acknowledged that both Tiger and his mother were visibly shaken by the event.
"This is a major incident... I have assured them that the state government stands with them in the face of the open threats being directed at public figures. No form of threat will be tolerated," Shinde stated.
The Deputy CM drew a parallel to the gang wars of the 1990s, noting that while the Mumbai Police had largely ended such violence by 1995, any current attempts to intimidate citizens or public figures through "hooliganism" would be dealt with sternly.
