On Sunday evening, shots were fired at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff , with three men spotted at the scene, and two of them opening fire. His driver and a bystander were injured in the shootout. This is unfortunately not the first time that Bishnoi and his gang have targeted key figures in the film industry, beginning with Salman Khan.
Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang took responsibility for it and reportedly said in an audio note, “Anyone in the film industry who works separately from us, or works with Salman Khan , we will kill him.
Salman is alleged to have poached blackbucks , an animal sacred to the Bishnoi community, while shooting Hum Saath-Saath Hain in Jodhpur in 1998. Bishnoi issued his first public death threat against the actor in 2018. Following Sidhu Moosewala’s death in 2022, Salman was warned he would meet the same fate. In 2023, unidentified gunmen opened fire outside Gippy Grewal’s Canadian home and reportedly, four bullets were fired at a parked Lamborghini car parked outside his home. In 2024, 14 gunshots were fired, and an arson attack took place outside AP Dhillon ’s UK home. In 2025, an Indian national in the UK on a student visa who filmed the shooting pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to 6 years’ jail, and in 2026, his deportation was ordered. In 2025, gunfire was first reported outside Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Cafe in Canada, causing property damage and no injuries.
Bishnoi’s gang claimed responsibility in a social media post, citing his association with Salman. But they assumed otherwise, and that led to the incident. No arrests have been made yet. An associate of Bishnoi claimed responsibility for it via a social media post. The attack was reportedly carried out to threaten Dhillon for his collaboration on the music video Old Money with Salman. Another co-suspect reportedly remains at large. A second drive-by shooting occurred a month later, with Bishnoi associates claiming responsibility and citing Kapil’s inviting Salman to the Great Indian Kapil Show on Netflix as the reason. A third attack occurred at the cafe again, two months later, with gunmen opening fire from a vehicle. This year, they targeted Kapil’s Chai Sutta Bar in May and issued a warning on social media, asking him to ‘get in line’. Pandit also warned that the attacks will continue, “Anyone in the Mumbai film industry who does not listen to us or works with Salman Khan will be next. Wait and watch.”
On Shekhar Suman’s chat show Shekhar Tonite this year, Gippy said , “We didn’t even have a close friendship. “Sooner or later, number sabka aayega. (Sooner or later, everyone’s number will come up),” he allegedly said in the note that Tiger had also been warned previously for his association with Salman.
Threatening emails and warning shots outside his Bandra residence have continued since then. Three men suspected to be involved in the firing were detained in Rajasthan’s Kota from a train coming from Mumbai on Monday, a police official told PTI.
