Tiger Shroff, the Bollywood action star known for films like "War" and "Bajrangi Bhaijaan," was the target of a gun attack in Mumbai yesterday, leaving one bystander wounded.
The shooting occurred outside a popular mall in South Mumbai, where Shroff was reportedly leaving a promotional event for his latest film. Witnesses say the assailants opened fire from a parked vehicle, forcing the actor to seek immediate medical attention.
Mumbai Police have cordoned off the area and deployed a rapid response squad to trace the gunmen. The police spokesperson stated that forensic evidence is being collected and that the investigation will focus on identifying the perpetrators.
Shroff, who has a massive fan base across India and abroad, expressed his shock and gratitude for the swift police response. Fans flooded social media with messages of support, while the film studio released a statement urging calm and cooperation with authorities.
The incident comes amid a recent uptick in high‑profile shootings in the city. Authorities are expected to release a detailed report within the next 48 hours, and the investigation is slated to be handed over to the Central Crime Branch if no suspects are apprehended promptly.
