A shocking incident of violence unfolded in Mumbai on Sunday when multiple rounds were fired at actor Tiger Shroff’s vehicle. While the actor escaped unhurt, the event has sparked a political row, with Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activist Abhijeet Dipke slamming the government and law enforcement for their perceived lack of focus on actual crime.
Activist Questions Police Priorities
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Abhijeet Dipke expressed strong disapproval of how the police allocate their resources. He argued that the authorities are too focused on suppressing dissent rather than stopping violent criminals.
"Instead of cracking down on students and activists, the police should focus on actual criminals," Dipke posted. "This is what happens when the Govt and police have their priorities completely misplaced."
The Incident: Chaos in the Crowd
The firing occurred as Tiger Shroff was leaving a ground in his vehicle. According to the Mumbai Police, a large crowd had gathered to catch a glimpse of the star. Amidst the commotion, three to four rounds were fired at the actor's car from within the crowd.
The incident falls under the jurisdiction of the Juhu Police Station. Fortunately, the Mumbai Police confirmed that Tiger Shroff is safe and did not sustain any gunshot injuries. A forensic team was immediately dispatched to the scene to collect evidence.
Government Response and Investigation
The attack triggered an immediate response from the top leadership of Maharashtra. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis personally called Tiger Shroff to offer his support and assurance.
Key actions taken by the administration include:
- CM's Assurance: Devendra Fadnavis told the actor, "We are all with you. We will trace and apprehend the accused at the earliest."
- Direct Orders: The Chief Minister contacted the Mumbai Police Commissioner, instructing a swift investigation and strict action against the perpetrators.
- Special Teams: Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde condemned the attack and announced that multiple police teams have been formed to track down the culprits, asserting that no gang would be spared.
A Mysterious Threat Online
Adding a layer of mystery to the case, an unverified post has surfaced on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The post allegedly warns others in the Mumbai film industry, stating, "Those in Mumbai Industry Who Work With Salman Khan and Don’t Listen to Us Will Meet the Same Fate."
Authorities have not yet verified the authenticity of this post or confirmed if it is directly linked to the firing incident. Investigations remain ongoing as the police work to identify the shooters.
