Tiger Shroff Shooting Incident: A Closer Look at the Alarming Details
Investigation Unveils Disturbing Plans Against Celebrities
In Mumbai, the investigation into the shooting incident involving actor Tiger Shroff has revealed that the suspects had previously scouted the homes of various high-profile celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan, as reported by sources from the Mumbai Crime Branch.
The assailants were allegedly directed to focus on celebrities with less robust security measures. During their reconnaissance, they utilized auto-rickshaw drivers to navigate to the residences of notable figures such as Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Salman Khan.
The suspects reportedly asked these drivers to show them the homes of film stars, claiming they wanted to photograph the properties. This led them to various actors' residences.
An auto-rickshaw driver informed the suspects that Tiger Shroff, the son of renowned actor Jackie Shroff, frequented a football ground in Juhu every Sunday for games.
On October 11, the suspects arrived at the football ground, but Tiger was absent that day.
They returned the following Sunday, October 18, this time armed. It was during this visit that they opened fire on Tiger's vehicle.
Authorities have noted that other individuals traveled from Haryana to Mumbai around the same time, conducting similar reconnaissance before heading back.
After the shooting, the attackers disposed of their firearms at an undisclosed location while leaving the city.
Police reports indicate that the assailants used one foreign-made pistol and one locally manufactured firearm during the attack, although they lacked detailed knowledge about the foreign weapon.
Initial interrogations on October 20 revealed that Tiger was not the primary target of the attack.
The Mumbai Police are currently working to locate where the firearms were discarded.
On October 18, Tiger narrowly escaped when three men on motorcycles fired at his car in Juhu. Shortly after, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the attack via social media.
The attackers reportedly discovered through social media posts from Tiger's fans that he was not under police protection at the time, which influenced their decision to target him.
Preliminary questioning also indicated that the motive behind the attack was to instill fear within the film industry.
In the aftermath, several industry figures, including Amaal Mallik, Mika Singh, Vidyut Jammwal, Shatrughan Sinha, and Ravi Kishan, have expressed their concerns regarding the incident.
