Close shave for Tiger Shroff after three men open fire at his car in Mumbai, Bishnoi aide claims responsibility in viral post
PTC News Desk: Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff was reportedly targeted in a firing incident in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday while returning home after playing football. Police sources said the actor is safe and did not suffer any gunshot injuries. According to the reports, three rounds were fired at his BMW. His driver was admitted to Nanavati Hospital for treatment.
A team representing Tiger’s father, actor Jackie Shroff, confirmed that Tiger was safe, saying, “Tiger is okay.”
Overseas-based gangsters Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu allegedly claimed responsibility for the firing in a social media post issued in the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi group. However, PTC News does not independently verify the claims.
Cultural Affairs Minister Ashish Shelar spoke to the Shroff family after the incident. Police are investigating the case.
Lawrence Bishnoi's aide claims responsibility
A video later surfaced in which a man identifying himself as Anil Pandit and claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang said Tiger Shroff was on their hit list. He allegedly claimed that the actor had ignored their instructions and was working with Salman Khan.
Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently lodged in a Gujarat jail, has repeatedly threatened to kill Salman Khan. Tiger Shroff and Salman Khan have not appeared together in a full-length feature film, but they share several connections within the film industry. Salman reportedly played a role in Tiger’s entry into Bollywood by advising producer Sajid Nadiadwala to launch him.
Tiger’s father, Jackie Shroff, has worked with Salman in several major films. The two actors have also shared public platforms and often praised each other’s fitness and dedication to action films.
The investigation into the firing incident is ongoing.
