"A firing incident has been reported under Juhu Police Station. Actor Tiger Shroff is safe and has not sustained any gunshot injuries. Further investigation is underway," said Mumbai Police.

"Three to four rounds were fired at actor Tiger Shroff’s car as he was leaving a ground in his vehicle. A large crowd had gathered to see him. Several rounds were fired at his car from within the crowd," the department added.


Mumbai Police have formed 15 teams to investigate the firing and identify those responsible. Forensic teams have also been deployed to collect and examine evidence from the scene.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has become the main suspect in the case after an unverified post on Facebook claimed, "Those in Mumbai Industry Who Work With Salman Khan and Don't Listen to Us Will Meet the Same Fate."

Sunday's shooting, moreover, bears similarities to previous firing incidents allegedly linked to the gang. In earlier cases, the shooters reportedly arrived on motorcycles, followed by social media posts claiming responsibility for the attacks.

Eyewitnesses in the present case said the bikers appeared to be young and had posed as paparazzi.

However, the allegations are yet to be established by investigators.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has taken note of the incident and contacted the Mumbai Police Commissioner to inquire about the firing. Fadnavis has directed the commissioner to conduct a swift investigation and take strict action against those responsible.

“We are all with you. We will trace and apprehend the accused at the earliest," the chief minister assured.

Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also condemned the attack.

"I spoke with Tiger Shroff, as well as his father, Jackie Shroff. I told Tiger not to worry—the government is with him; there is no need for concern. We will review the security arrangements for all celebrities, and the government is fully committed to ensuring their safety. If anyone tries to intimidate or threaten others, the police and the government will not spare them," he said.
