The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for Sunday night’s firing attack on actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai. In a social media post, the gang members said they targeted him for ignoring their warnings against working with Salman Khan. They also warned others in the film industry against working with Khan.
The incident took place near Pushpa Park in Juhu on Sunday evening when Tiger was returning from a football match. Three men on a motorcycle allegedly fired at his car. Tiger escaped without any injuries, but his driver, Firdaus, was hit in the left hand. An autorickshaw driver nearby was also injured in the firing.
Tiger and his driver were taken to the hospital for treatment. The actor was later discharged, while his driver received medical care. The other injured person was taken to another hospital. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directed the police to investigate the case.
Mumbai Police have formed 15 teams to find the attackers. One suspect has been detained for questioning, and officers are checking CCTV footage to identify those involved. Police are also looking into the social media post claiming responsibility for the attack.
