Tiger Shroff's Car Targeted in Mumbai Firing Attack; Actor Safe
Gunshots were fired at Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai amidst a large crowd. Read more about the incident and the mysterious social media threat.
Panic gripped a gathering in Mumbai on Sunday when several rounds were fired at actor Tiger Shroff’s vehicle. The incident occurred as the actor was departing from a ground, surrounded by a massive crowd of fans and onlookers. According to the Mumbai Police, the shots were fired from within the crowd, targeting the car as it moved to leave the venue.
The Incident at Juhu
The firing took place under the jurisdiction of the Juhu Police Station. Police officials confirmed that three to four rounds were discharged during the commotion. Despite the chaos and the proximity of the gunfire, Tiger Shroff remained unhurt and did not sustain any gunshot injuries. The actor is reported to be safe, though the event has sent shockwaves through the film industry.
A Sinister Social Media Threat
As the police began their investigation, a disturbing post surfaced on social media claiming responsibility for the attack. The unverified post contained a direct warning to those working within 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 noted that the authenticity of this post and its actual connection to the firing incident are still being verified. Investigators are working to trace the origin of the message to determine if it was a genuine threat or an attempt to create panic.
Connections to Previous Threats
The nature of the threat has drawn parallels to previous incidents involving high-profile Bollywood personalities. Earlier in 2024, a case was registered against Anmol Bishnoi regarding a firing incident outside the residence of actor Salman Khan.
Police records indicate that Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of the incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, had used Facebook to write about that specific attack, employing threatening language. While the current investigation into the attack on Tiger Shroff is ongoing, the police are examining all possible leads to identify the perpetrators.
Investigation Underway
The Juhu Police are currently analyzing the scene and gathering evidence from the crowd that was present during the incident. Further details are expected as the probe continues into who fired the shots and whether there is a coordinated effort to target celebrities in the city.
