Tiger Shroff Firing Incident: What Happened?
The firing reportedly took place on Sunday evening after Tiger left a football session with friends in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Three men on a motorcycle allegedly fired at least five rounds at his car, injuring his driver and an autorickshaw driver.
Tiger reportedly took over the wheel after his driver was injured. The driver sustained a gunshot wound to his left hand and was being assessed for possible surgery, according to sources at Nanavati Hospital. Tiger was examined at the hospital and later discharged, with reports indicating that he had suffered minor abrasions.
Mumbai Police formed 15 teams to investigate the incident, reviewed CCTV footage and collected ballistic evidence. A person was detained in Santacruz in connection with the case. Two alleged operatives of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu, claimed responsibility in social media posts, but the authenticity of those claims remained unverified by police.
