Tiger Shroff Safe After Firing Incident in Mumbai's Juhu, Police Say

Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff is safe and was not injured after a firing incident was reported in Mumbai's Juhu area on Sunday evening, Mumbai Police said. The police statement, carried by news agency ANI, said a firing incident had been reported under Juhu Police Station and that further investigation was under way.

Reports in several Indian outlets said three unidentified men on a motorcycle opened fire as Shroff was leaving a football ground near Pushpa Park in Juhu. Shroff escaped unhurt. News18, cited by Filmibeat, reported that his driver and an autorickshaw driver were injured in the firing. Police have not publicly confirmed the injury details in the statement carried by ANI.

Police investigation under way

Police teams rushed to the area after the firing was reported. Reports said officers cordoned off the area and were checking CCTV footage from streets nearby to identify the men and work out the route they took after leaving the scene.

The circumstances of the firing are still not known. Police have not named any suspects and have not said what the motive was. Shroff, known for action films such as Heropanti, Baaghi and War, had not issued a public statement by Sunday night.

Claim of responsibility is not verified

A social media post that surfaced after the incident claimed responsibility in the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. In the post, a man identifying himself as Anil Pandit said he and an associate, Harman Sandhu, were responsible, and he issued a warning to people in the film industry who work with actor Salman Khan.

Police have not verified that post. Daily Jagran and other outlets reporting the claim said officials had not confirmed its authenticity or any link between the post and the firing. The claim should be treated as unverified until police establish who was behind the attack.

Congress leader Sachin Sawant reacted on X, calling the news of a shooting at Shroff's car shocking and questioning law and order in Mumbai. He pointed to earlier attacks and threats involving people from the film industry.

Officers were still investigating on Sunday night. More detail is expected once Mumbai Police establish the sequence of events, identify the men on the motorcycle and confirm how many people, if any, were injured.
