Initial Target Aamir Khan Before Attack on Tiger Shroff
Police reveal that Aamir Khan was the first target in the October 18 shooting incident involving Tiger Shroff.
Aamir Khan was initially monitored by suspects for a month before shifting to Tiger Shroff.
Three alleged shooters were arrested after a police alert during their escape.
Eleven individuals have been detained in connection with the shooting, linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
In a shocking revelation, police investigations into the October 18 shooting incident involving actor Tiger Shroff have uncovered that Aamir Khan was the original target of the alleged attackers. Reports indicate that the suspects had been observing Khan's movements in Mumbai for nearly a month before ultimately deciding to target Shroff due to the latter's more predictable schedule. The attack occurred in Juhu, where Shroff was reportedly playing football when gunfire erupted.
The suspects, who had visited the vicinity of Khan's residence multiple times, found it challenging to approach him because of his frequent travels for film shoots. Consequently, they shifted their focus to Shroff, who was known to frequent a local park on Sundays. This change in target is believed to be linked to threats Khan received earlier this year, attributed to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has raised concerns about the safety of high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry.
Authorities have revealed that the alleged shooters received real-time updates about police movements through encrypted messaging applications. This allowed them to adjust their escape plans effectively. When news coverage aired footage of the suspects, one of them reportedly received a warning message alerting them to their exposure, prompting a hasty change in their escape route.
Following the shooting, which left Shroff's driver and a bystander injured, police arrested three suspects in Rajasthan on October 19. Investigators discovered that the suspects had been using various modes of transport to evade capture, including motorcycles and trains. They were eventually apprehended after a collaborative effort between Mumbai and Kota police, which included alerts about their movements.
As the investigation continues, police have arrested a total of eleven individuals connected to the case, including a man suspected of providing logistical support to the shooters. The Mumbai Crime Branch is actively pursuing leads related to the conspiracy, the procurement of firearms, and the involvement of other individuals, including a gangster believed to be operating from abroad. Further developments in this case are anticipated as authorities work to ensure the safety of public figures and address the underlying criminal networks involved.
