Police are investigating the incident of firing at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai’s Juhu area. The actor survived the incident on Sunday evening, though he suffered gunpowder burns on his right hand. The attackers fired seven rounds targeting his BMW car. The actor’s driver Firdos and an auto-rickshaw driver were injured in the incident. The Maharashtra government has taken the matter seriously and has ordered immediate arrest of the accused.
According to preliminary information, Tiger Shroff was leaving the Juhu area after playing a football match when three men on a motorcycle attacked his car. It is said that two of the men allegedly opened fire, while the third suspect remained on the motorcycle to help him escape. After committing the crime, the trio fled the scene. Police are now working to identify the attackers and find out the motive behind the incident.
Following the incident, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Tiger Shroff’s residence and met him. He assured the actor and his family of all possible assistance from the state government. Tiger was not directly shot in the attack, but his arm was injured by gunpowder. Police are probing all aspects of the incident, as its driver and an auto driver were injured.
The case took a new turn when a post in the name of gangster Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu surfaced on social media. These persons living abroad claimed responsibility for the attack in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi gang. However, the claims made in this post have yet to be independently verified. Police have detained one person for questioning and are looking for other suspects. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has also directed the police to speed up the investigation and take strict action against the criminals. Currently, investigative agencies are working to identify the attackers, determine a possible conspiracy and determine the veracity of the claims made on social media.
