Tiger Shroff Escapes Gunfire in Juhu, Mumbai Incident
Actor Tiger Shroff narrowly avoids injury as gunfire erupts from assailants in Mumbai's Juhu area.

This incident follows a series of threats against Salman Khan linked to a past hunting case.
In a shocking incident on Sunday evening, actor Tiger Shroff was unharmed during a gunfire attack in Mumbai's Juhu area, although his car driver was injured. The attack occurred as Shroff was leaving a local football ground, prompting immediate concern for his safety.
The situation escalated when a video surfaced featuring a man named Anil Pandit, who identified himself as a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. He claimed that Shroff was on their hit list due to his alleged disregard for their warnings and his association with fellow actor Salman Khan. Bishnoi, currently incarcerated in Gujarat, has previously issued threats against Khan, indicating a dangerous connection between the two actors and the gang.
In the video, Pandit stated, "What happened with Tiger Shroff today, we take responsibility for that." He further warned that anyone in the film industry who does not align with them, particularly those working with Salman Khan, would face severe consequences. The gang's threats were underscored by a chilling ultimatum regarding Khan's past legal troubles involving wildlife hunting, which has reportedly angered the Bishnoi community.
This attack on Shroff is particularly alarming as it echoes a previous incident where former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was murdered in 2024, with the Bishnoi gang claiming responsibility due to Siddique's close ties with Khan. The implications of this ongoing feud extend beyond the film industry, raising concerns about public safety and the influence of organized crime in Mumbai.
Looking ahead, authorities are likely to increase security measures for high-profile individuals in the entertainment sector. Investigations into the incident are ongoing, and the public awaits further updates regarding the safety of those involved, particularly Tiger Shroff and Salman Khan, as the situation develops.
