In a concerning incident in Mumbai, shots were fired at actor Tiger Shroff's car, prompting Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to declare a zero-tolerance policy towards gangs involved in such violence. Shinde emphasized that the government and police are taking the matter seriously and are committed to ensuring the safety of both citizens and public figures.
The shooting occurred in the Juhu area while Shroff was returning home from a football match. Reports indicate that three rounds were fired at his BMW, although the actor escaped without injury. His driver, however, was not as fortunate and was taken to Nanavati Hospital for treatment. The police quickly cordoned off the area and have formed twelve teams to track down the perpetrators.
Shinde has made it clear that the police will first identify those responsible for the shooting before any action is taken. He recalled the historical context of Mumbai's crackdown on gang violence during the 1990s, asserting that similar measures would be implemented now to combat the current threat. He expressed concern over the persistence of gang-related incidents, questioning why such acts continue despite many alleged gang members being in custody.
The incident has raised alarms not just for the safety of celebrities but for the general public as well. Shinde's remarks reflect a broader commitment to restoring order and ensuring that gangs do not operate with impunity. He reiterated that the safety of the people is the government's top priority and promised robust actions to prevent future occurrences.
As investigations continue, the police are looking into a social media post linked to gangsters Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu, who claimed responsibility for the attack on behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi group. However, the police have yet to verify the authenticity of this claim. The ongoing investigation aims to bring those responsible to justice and restore a sense of security in the city.
