Gunmen targeted actor Tiger Shroff’s vehicle in Mumbai, resulting in injuries to his driver and a passerby.
Because those filming the actor nearby could also have been caught in the firing, she added that the incident left her shaken.
Eyewitnesses said the sound of gunfire initially caused confusion, with some mistaking the shots for Diwali firecrackers. Shaikh said the driver was taken for medical treatment after the shooting. The actor escaped without gunshot injuries, although he sustained minor abrasions from shattered glass. The seriousness of the attack became apparent when the car stopped and the driver emerged injured.
Photographs released on Sunday night showed him with dressings on his shoulder and chest and a bandage on his right arm.
Seven rounds were fired, according to reports, leaving the actor’s driver, Firdaus, and a passerby injured. MUMBAI: “The boy was skinny, like a mosquito, and looked poor, like someone living on the footpath. The firing took place around 7pm as Shroff was leaving a football venue at Pushpa Narsee Park, also known as Jamnabai Nursery, after a birthday outing. Meanwhile, a social media post and voice note purportedly claiming responsibility for the attack were attributed to individuals identifying themselves as Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu and claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The message alleged that Shroff had ignored warnings and threatened others in the film industry who continued to work with actor Salman Khan. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis spoke to Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti and Shroff after the incident, assuring the actor that the accused would be traced. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also visited Shroff’s residence and assured the family of the state government’s support.
He came and started firing, and everyone thought someone was bursting firecrackers for Diwali,” an eyewitness said, recounting the moments of panic when gunmen opened fire at actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening.
