Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff survived a shooting in Mumbai on Sunday evening without sustaining gunshot wounds. Police confirmed two other individuals were injured, including Shroff's driver, as investigators probe the attack.
Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff survived a shooting incident in Mumbai on Sunday evening, October 18, according to Indian police. The 36-year-old actor was not hit by any bullets, but two other people were injured during the attack, which took place as Shroff was leaving a football club in the suburb of Juhu.
According to DCP Mohit Garg, the firing occurred at around 7 PM. Unidentified individuals opened fire on Shroff’s BMW sedan as he was leaving a private event. Police confirmed that Shroff is safe and did not sustain any gunshot injuries.
Two people were injured in the incident:
Videos circulating online show two men firing at the vehicle through the windshield and a side window. One clip captures the moment Shroff moves from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat after his driver was injured. Blood stains were visible on the car and the road.
Mumbai Police have detained one person in connection with the case, according to NDTV. Investigators have deployed 15 special police teams and are examining CCTV footage to identify the alleged shooters and trace their movements. A forensic team has conducted a preliminary analysis of the scene.
An audio clip circulating online features a man identifying himself as Anil Pandit, claiming to be a younger brother of Lawrence Bishnoi. The speaker claims responsibility for the attack alongside Harman Sandhu and issues threats against individuals in the film industry who work with actor Salman Khan. Police have not independently verified the authenticity of the audio or established that the speakers in the recording carried out the shooting.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis instructed the Mumbai Police Commissioner to accelerate the investigation and take strict action against those responsible. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Shroff after the incident and stated that the actor and his mother were left "shaken" by the attack.
"These attempts to intimidate people will not be tolerated, and we will put an end to this hooliganism," said Eknath Shinde.
This incident marks the latest in a series of targeted attacks on public figures in India. In 2024, police arrested two members of a criminal gang for a gun attack targeting the home of Bollywood actor Salman Khan, and influential politician Baba Siddique was shot dead in Mumbai. The attack on Shroff has heightened concerns regarding the safety of celebrities and public figures in the country.
