Tiger Shroff escapes firing attempt as 15 teams probe Juhu attack
Tiger Shroff was unhurt after gunmen opened fire in Mumbai's Juhu on Sunday evening. Police have formed 15 teams as the industry reacts.
Mumbai’s film industry is on edge after gunmen opened fire at actor Tiger Shroff in Juhu on Sunday evening. The actor escaped unhurt, but his driver and an autorickshaw driver were injured, police said. Jackie Shroff confirmed that his son was safe and assisting officials at the police station.
What happened near Pushpa Park
The incident took place near Pushpa Park under Juhu police station limits. Police said 15 teams, including Mumbai Crime Branch and local police personnel, have been formed to investigate the case from all angles and track down those responsible.
A forensic team visited the scene to collect ballistic evidence, inspect the vehicle and establish how many rounds were fired. Officers are also scanning CCTV footage from nearby locations to identify the assailants and confirm how many people were involved.
The film industry reacts
Ranvir Shorey wrote on X that the incident was “shocking, and disgusting,” and called for no mercy for the perpetrators. Director Rahul Dholakia took a sharper line, asking, “What kind of Law and order is this?” and demanding answers from authorities.
Their reactions capture a wider worry in Bollywood: that public figures can face threats in residential areas, and that fear can spread before facts are confirmed.
What the viral claim says
A social media post linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the attack. The post, which police are yet to verify, said the actor had been warned and that anyone in the Mumbai film industry who works with Salman Khan would be next.
Because the claim is unverified, it is important not to treat it as confirmed. Police are still piecing together the chain of events.
Why this matters
- Tiger Shroff was unhurt, but two drivers were injured in the firing.
- Investigators have put 15 teams on the case, including the Crime Branch.
- A gang claim has circulated online, but Mumbai Police have not verified it yet.
For fans, the priority is to follow official police updates rather than viral posts. For the industry, the incident renews questions about celebrity security and how quickly law enforcement responds to threats in residential areas like Juhu.
