A video circulating on social media shows several rounds being fired at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai on Sunday evening. Police said the incident occurred around 7pm near Pushpa Park in Juhu, close to Jamnabai Narsee School, as Shroff was returning from playing football at a club.
The video appears to show two assailants shooting at Shroff’s vehicle before fleeing on a motorcycle alongside a third man. One of them can be seen firing repeatedly, while the second also appears to try to open fire. HT could not independently verify the authenticity of the visuals.
Soon after the shooting, two alleged operatives of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu, claimed responsibility for the attack in posts on various social media platforms.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Mohit Kumar Garg said Shroff suffered minor abrasions, while his driver, Firdos, sustained a gunshot wound to his left hand. Both were taken to Nanavati Hospital for treatment. Shroff was later discharged, while his driver was admitted as he might require surgery for the gunshot injury, hospital sources said.
More details will be added shortly.
