Actor Tiger Shroff was safe and had not sustained any gunshot injuries, police said.
Tiger Shroff’s driver and an autorickshaw driver were reportedly injured in the incident.
Actor Tiger Shroff was allegedly targeted in a firing incident in Mumbai’s Juhu after three unidentified men arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire at Pushpa Park.
While initial reports suggested that Shroff and two others had been injured, Mumbai Police later clarified that the actor was safe and had not sustained any gunshot injuries. Shroff’s driver and an autorickshaw driver were reportedly injured in the incident.
Meanwhile, a social media post purportedly by gangster Anil Pandit has surfaced, allegedly claiming responsibility for the firing on behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis spoke with Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharati to enquire about the firing incident and directed him to launch an investigation and take strict action against those responsible. As many as 15 teams have been formed to nab the accused.
Oppn Slams Fadnavis Govt Over Law And Order
The incident also triggered a political row, with Congress leader Sachin Sawant questioning the state of law and order in Mumbai and accusing the Maharashtra government of failing to curb criminal activity.
Reacting to the incident, Sawant wrote on X, “The news of a shooting at actor Tiger Shroff’s car is utterly shocking. What’s exactly going on in Mumbai? The murder of Baba Siddique, a shooting at Salman Khan’s house, threats to numerous actors and producers… Law and order in Mumbai has gone completely haywire.”
He further alleged that the city was witnessing a breakdown of law and order, saying, “It’s not just a lack of law and order; it’s as if utter chaos has taken hold. The Chief Minister has proven to be a total failure!”
Comparing the situation in Maharashtra with Bihar, Sawant added, “We’d reached the point of saying ‘Maharashtra has become Bihar’; but now, we’ve come to the stage where we’re saying ‘even Bihar is better.’ Strongest condemnation of the government that’s pushing Mumbai into the clutches of criminals!”
Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad said the incident once again raises serious questions about the deteriorating law and order situation in Mumbai.
“Gunfire outside Salman Khan’s residence, the tragic killing of Baba Siddique, and shots fired outside Rohit Shetty’s home… If even prominent politicians and actors are not safe, what hope is there for the common man?” she said.
Gaikwad also argued that Maharashtra needs a dedicated Home Minister, saying Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is burdened with too many portfolios and an excessive workload.
“Maharashtra needs a dedicated, independent Home Minister—someone truly capable and formidable. I reiterate: grant the police their independence, allow them to perform their duties, and put an end to the political pressure exerted on them by the Home Department,” she added.
