Tiger Shroff Shooting: Attackers Did Recce Before Firing, Fled to Gujarat
Mumbai Police launch a manhunt in Gujarat after trained shooters targeted Tiger Shroff in Juhu. Read the full details of the pre-planned attack.
A shocking act of violence has rocked the Bollywood fraternity as actor Tiger Shroff became the target of a calculated shooting attack in Mumbai's Juhu area. The Mumbai Police Crime Branch has now expanded its investigation across state lines into Gujarat, chasing leads on trained shooters who meticulously planned the assault before vanishing.
A Pre-Planned Ambush
Investigations reveal that the attack was not a random act of violence but a cold, calculated operation. The assailants had conducted a detailed reconnaissance (recce) of the actor's personal habits and weekly routine. Knowing that Tiger Shroff regularly visits a football club in Juhu on Sundays, the attackers monitored his movements to time their strike with precision.
The shooters waited for the exact moment the actor was exiting the venue in his car to open fire. While the actor managed to avoid direct gunshot wounds, the violence left a mark. Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohit Garg confirmed that the vehicle was the primary target during the exit from the club premises.
The Great Escape: From Juhu to Gujarat
The precision of the attack was matched by the efficiency of the getaway. Following the firing, the suspects followed a pre-mapped escape route along SV Road, cutting through Vile Parle and Andheri. In a bid to shake off any pursuit, the attackers abandoned their motorcycle near the Andheri West railway station and quickly boarded a train heading toward Borivali.
Preliminary intelligence suggests that the fugitives did not stop there, crossing the Maharashtra border into neighboring Gujarat to evade the law. To track them down, the Mumbai Crime Branch has deployed three to four specialized teams, conducting raids across various suspected hideouts in Gujarat.
Injuries and Aftermath
The attack left both the actor and his staff shaken. While Tiger Shroff escaped the bullets, he suffered injuries to his left hand caused by gunpowder residue and flying glass fragments. Tragically, the actor's driver sustained injuries during the chaos of the shooting.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited the actor’s residence on Sunday night to offer support to the family. He noted that both Tiger and his mother, Ayesha Shroff, were deeply distressed by the incident. Shinde issued a stern warning, stating that threats against public figures would not be tolerated and that strict action would be taken against the perpetrators.
Legal Action and Charges
The Mumbai Police have registered an FIR against three unidentified individuals. The suspects are facing serious charges under several laws, including:
- Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS): Sections 109(1) and 3(5)
- Arms Act: Sections 3 and 25
As the manhunt continues, law enforcement agencies are working tirelessly to dismantle the network behind the attack and bring the shooters to justice.
