MUMBAI: Following a firing incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, photographs showing the actor’s injuries have surfaced. The images depict the actor with a heavy bandage on his hand along with dressings on his shoulder and chest wounds. These pictures were taken when Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Shroff’s residence to inquire about his health condition.
The incident occurred on Sunday evening in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Unidentified assailants on a motorcycle opened fire at Tiger Shroff’s vehicle while he was returning home with his driver after playing football. While Shroff did not sustain direct gunshot wounds, he suffered injuries caused by shattered glass and flying debris from the damaged vehicle. His driver, Firdous, and an autorickshaw driver who was nearby were also injured in the attack.
Five Rounds Fired, Say Police
According to police sources, the attackers fired five rounds at the actor’s vehicle. The Mumbai Police have launched a comprehensive investigation into the incident. Multiple police teams have been deployed to trace the assailants and ascertain the circumstances surrounding the attack.
Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Claims Responsibility
Following the attack, an audio clip allegedly surfaced in which the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the incident. The message claimed that Tiger Shroff was targeted due to his continued professional association with actor Salman Khan. The audio also contained warnings issued to other individuals in the film industry.
However, police officials are currently verifying the authenticity of the audio clip and the gang’s involvement in the crime. Consequently, the claim made by the gang remains unverified at this stage.
Condemning the attack, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde declared that threats and violent acts would not be tolerated in Mumbai, assuring that strict legal action would be initiated against those responsible.
