Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff got away safely from a shooting event in Mumbai on Sunday evening (October 18), after unknown gunmen shot bullets at his car in the city’s Juhu area.
The 36-year-old actor did not get any direct wounds from the bullets, the Mumbai Police proved. However, two people, including his car driver, were hurt in the shooting, which has started a massive police search.
The event took place at about 7 p.m. near Pushpa Park in Juhu, where Shroff had been playing football with other workers from the movie and television business. According to local news reports, three attackers came on a motorcycle, and two of them allegedly shot bullets at the actor’s BMW car before running away from the area.
A few shots were fired at the car as Shroff was getting ready to drive away from the spot. His driver got a bullet wound in his hand, while another person, named in reports as an autorickshaw driver, was also hurt.
Both of the hurt men were taken to a local hospital to get medical care. Right after that, Shroff was taken safely to his house under the protection of the police.
The Mumbai Police proved the shooting happened and shared that an investigation was going on. “A firing incident has been reported under Juhu Police Station.
Actor Tiger Shroff is safe and has not sustained any gunshot injuries. Further investigation is underway,” the police stated in a message shared by The Economic Times.
This shooting has brought up new worries about the safety of famous people in India’s entertainment business. The police are checking out claims that link the attack to the Lawrence Bishnoi criminal gang, which has been linked to past threats and violence against Bollywood stars before.
According to India Today, an internet post written by overseas-based criminals Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu took credit for the attack in the name of the Bishnoi group.
However, government leaders have not independently proved this claim to be true. The Mumbai Police have reportedly set up 15 separate teams to find the people behind the crime, while one person has been held for questioning.
