Tiger Shroff escaped unhurt after unidentified assailants opened fire at his car in Mumbai on Sunday evening, October 18. The incident has taken a serious turn after a social media post attributed to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the attack and threatened others in the film industry associated with Salman Khan.

The firing took place near Pushpa Park after Tiger Shroff left a football ground. Three men travelling on a motorcycle allegedly opened fire at his vehicle. While the actor escaped without injuries, his driver and an autorickshaw driver reportedly sustained injuries. Mumbai Police launched an investigation and began examining CCTV footage to identify the assailants.

The incident became more alarming after a message attributed to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed that its members were behind the shooting. The message alleged that Tiger had been warned but continued to ignore those warnings. It also threatened others in the Mumbai film industry who work with Salman Khan. However, the authenticity of the message and the gang’s alleged involvement remain subject to police verification.

The latest incident has brought renewed attention to the security concerns surrounding Bollywood celebrities, particularly Salman Khan, who has faced repeated threats allegedly linked to the Bishnoi gang. In April 2024, gunmen opened fire outside Salman’s residence in Bandra, Mumbai. A social media post attributed to Anmol Bishnoi subsequently claimed responsibility for that incident, prompting an extensive investigation.

The attack on Tiger Shroff now raises fresh questions about whether the latest shooting is connected to the ongoing threats against Salman Khan and those associated with him. Mumbai Police are investigating the firing, examining available evidence and attempting to establish the motive behind the incident. Until the investigation establishes the facts, the alleged gang connection remains a claim rather than a confirmed finding.
