Tiger Shroff's Car Fired At in Mumbai; Gang Threatens Bollywood

Actor Tiger Shroff was unharmed after his car was fired upon by gunmen in Mumbai's Juhu area on October 18, 2026. The attack, which also injured his driver and another occupant, has been claimed by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This incident is the latest in a series of threats and acts of violence that have targeted Bollywood figures, drawing parallels to the underworld's influence in the 1980s and 1990s.

The Bishnoi gang's alleged involvement has brought renewed attention to ongoing threats against actor Salman Khan, stemming from a 1998 blackbuck poaching case. These threats have extended to Khan's associates, including an attack outside Punjabi artist Gippy Grewal's home in Canada in November 2026 and the fatal shooting of Salman Khan's friend, former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddiqui, on October 12, 2026.

Other notable incidents include threats against comedian Munawar Faruqui in October 2026, shooting incidents at Kapil Sharma's Canadian cafe in 2025, social media threats to Aamir Khan in July 2026, extortion demands made to Ranveer Singh in February 2026, and a threatening email to Aayush Sharma in February 2026.

The pattern of violence, including extortion demands and shootings, is reminiscent of incidents in the late 1990s, such as the murders of Gulshan Kumar and Mukesh Duggal and the attempted shooting of Rakesh Roshan. Tiger Shroff's attack underscores a persistent challenge for Bollywood, raising broader law-and-order concerns.
