Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff narrowly escaped harm after unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire on his vehicle in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday.
Police have launched an intensive manhunt to trace those behind the attack.
According to reports, three rounds were fired at the actor’s BMW while he was returning home after a football session. Although the gunfire triggered panic, Tiger Shroff escaped unhurt and is safe.
However, the actor’s driver sustained injuries during the incident and was rushed to Nanavati Hospital. Authorities have confirmed that the actor did not suffer any gunshot wounds.
Senior police officials reached the spot soon after the incident and began a detailed investigation. Security personnel cordoned off the area, while multiple police teams were mobilized to track down the attackers and determine the motive behind the shooting.
Police sources said that as many as 12 special teams have been formed to identify and arrest those involved. Investigators are examining CCTV footage and gathering evidence from the scene as part of the ongoing probe.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the film industry and among the actor’s fans, with many expressing concern over the security of celebrities in the city. The investigation remains underway.
The case took a dramatic turn after a social media post surfaced claiming responsibility for the attack in the name of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The post was allegedly linked to overseas-based gangsters Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu.
However, Mumbai Police have not verified the authenticity of the claim and have cautioned against drawing conclusions
Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohit Garg confirmed that the investigation is progressing and that efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the attackers. Meanwhile, representatives of Jackie Shroff’s family reassured fans that Tiger is safe.
