Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff was the target of a shooting incident in Mumbai's Juhu area on Sunday night. Unidentified assailants fired at his car as he was leaving a football club. The actor, son of Jackie Shroff, escaped unhurt, but his driver and an auto-rickshaw driver sustained injuries.
Three primary suspects were apprehended in Kota, Rajasthan, on a train bound for Delhi, with plans to flee to Nepal. Police identified the accused as Rehan, a labourer from Sonipat; Hritik Kurmi, who resided in Mumbai; and a minor. Preliminary investigations suggest the trio received an advance of Rs 50,000 for the attack. Messages were exchanged via Signal and Telegram apps.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has reportedly claimed responsibility for the shooting, though authorities are still verifying this claim. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Shroff, assuring that the government would not tolerate gang wars and stated the actor suffered minor injuries from gunpowder and glass fragments.
