Criminals Operating With Ease: NCP-SP Slams Law and Order After Tiger Shroff Firing
NCP-SP spokesperson Clyde Crasto criticizes Maharashtra's security after gunmen fired at actor Tiger Shroff's car.
The shocking Tiger Shroff firing incident has sparked a fierce political row in Maharashtra, with the Nationalist Congress Party (SP) accusing the state government of allowing criminals to roam free without fear of the law. The incident, which saw gunmen open fire on the Bollywood star's vehicle, has raised serious questions about the security climate in the state.
NCP-SP Accuses Government of Inaction
Speaking to ANI, NCP-SP spokesperson Clyde Crasto expressed grave concern over the boldness of the attackers. He asserted that the attack on Tiger Shroff is a clear indicator that criminals in Maharashtra are operating with complete ease because they no longer fear legal consequences.
Crasto argued that previous responses to similar crimes have been insufficient, leading to a culture of impunity.
“In the past, when such incidents have occurred, the action taken against these criminals has been inadequate. Consequently, they operate under the assumption that they can do whatever they please without facing any consequences,”he stated.
The spokesperson further highlighted the alarming sight of gangs and gunmen openly carrying weapons, urging Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who also holds the Home portfolio, to take immediate steps to restore public confidence and ensure the safety of citizens.
The Chaos: What Happened During the Attack
The terrifying event unfolded as Tiger Shroff was leaving a ground in his vehicle. A massive crowd had gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor, and it was from within this throng that the attackers struck. According to police reports, three to four rounds were fired directly at the actor's car.
While Tiger Shroff miraculously escaped without being hit by any bullets, the violence left others wounded. The actor's driver, identified as Firdaus, sustained a gunshot wound to his left arm. Another person was also injured during the firing.
Government Response: "Actions of Cowards"
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has stepped in to reassure the public, dismissing the attackers as "cowards" who hide and issue threats through communication channels. He emphasized that the state takes every threat seriously and expressed full confidence in the capabilities of the Mumbai Police.
Fadnavis assured that the Mumbai Police is a professional force that will not rest until the culprits are apprehended, stating that there is no reason for the public to be afraid.
Police Launch Massive Manhunt
The Mumbai Police have shifted into high gear to solve the case, forming 15 specialized teams to track down the perpetrators. An FIR has been registered against three unidentified individuals under the following legal frameworks:
- Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS): Sections 109(1) and 3(5)
- Arms Act: Sections 3 and 25
Investigations are currently ongoing to establish the identities of the gunmen and determine the motive behind the attack. Further details are awaited as the police continue to scan evidence and witness testimonies.
