When the sun dipped behind Juhu’s football field, a sudden volley of gunfire split the calm. Seven shots slammed into Tiger Shroff’s SUV, five striking the paint, while the driver was slammed into a curb. Shroff, unfazed, slipped into the driver’s seat and cranked the car to Nanavati Hospital, bandaging his own arms with a grim grin.
Within hours, the police swooped into Kota railway station, rounding up the three gunmen—two from Haryana, one from Bihar—cueing a joint Mumbai–AGTF raid. The trio had been tracked back to a bike left by the third accomplice. They’re now facing charges of attempted murder and conspiracy.
The attack isn’t a fluke; it’s part of a long-running feud with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, who blame Salman Khan for the 1998 blackbuck incident. Bishnoi’s gang has threatened Khan for years, even sending a warning letter to his father in 2022, and shot outside his house earlier this year. The gang’s vendetta is rooted in the sacred status of the blackbuck to the Bishnoi community. It’s a chilling reminder that even high‑profile actors can become pawns in a territorial dispute.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis called to check on Shroff’s condition, while Deputy CM Eknath Shinde met the actor at his home, seeing him bandaged. Both leaders vowed strict action against the culprits, promising a swift crackdown.
As a result, Mumbai police have beefed up security at Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments, scrutinizing every vehicle that passes the block. Security drones now circle the area, and a checkpoint stands at the main entrance. The move signals a new era of heightened protection for Bollywood’s elite.
Police say the investigation into the mastermind remains ongoing. Meanwhile, fans still wait for Tiger Shroff’s next film, hoping the incident won’t derail his shooting schedule.
