Mumbai Police have issued a security advisory to prominent Bollywood actors, urging them to exercise heightened caution when stepping out in public.
The warning comes in the wake of an October 18 firing incident in Juhu targeting actor Tiger Shroff’s car, an attack for which the Lawrence Bishnoi gang subsequently claimed responsibility online.
Senior police officials have advised celebrities to stay away from large public gatherings, avoid crowded places, and restrict unmonitored fan interactions.
The advisory follows disclosures from the Mumbai Crime Branch, which revealed that the accused had conducted reconnaissance outside the residences of several top stars—including Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Salman Khan—to spot celebrities with minimal police security.
Investigating officers noted that the shooters allegedly tracked fan-uploaded social media reels to confirm that Tiger Shroff lacked police protection before the attack, which was executed to instil fear across the film industry. Tiger escaped the incident unharmed after three men on motorcycles fired at his vehicle.
Police have arrested 13 individuals in connection with the case so far. With several high-profile figures receiving ongoing threats from criminal syndicates, authorities described the advisory as a crucial precautionary measure to safeguard the film fraternity.
