After meeting the actor, Shinde said Tiger had suffered gunpowder burns on his right hand. He described the incident as serious and promised strict action against those responsible. He warned that no gang or individual would be allowed to revive gang wars in Mumbai.
Shinde said the state government and police would give the case priority. He added that the safety of celebrities facing threats was just as important as the safety of ordinary citizens.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also spoke to Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti and Tiger Shroff after the incident. Fadnavis sought details from the police chief and directed him to speed up the investigation, arrest the attackers and take strict action against them.
Motorcycle-borne suspects behind attack
Preliminary information suggests that three men arrived at the spot on a motorcycle. Two allegedly opened fire, while the third waited on the bike to help them escape.
A video that surfaced after the incident appears to show one suspect firing several rounds, while the second seems to attempt to fire as well. The suspects were later seen fleeing on the motorcycle.
An eyewitness said panic broke out immediately after the shots were fired. The attackers allegedly fired towards the side of the BMW where Tiger’s driver was sitting.
The eyewitness also claimed that Tiger drove the car to the hospital after his injured driver was moved to the back seat.
Meanwhile, a social media post attributed to gangsters Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu, who are reportedly based abroad, claimed responsibility for the attack in the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi group. However, the claim has not been independently verified.
