The incident took place on October 18, Sunday, in Mumbai, when the Bollywood actor was leaving a football club. The firing incident involving Tiger Shroff sent shockwaves through the film industry. A video of the shooting showed the attackers opening fire at his car from close range.
Meanwhile, Tiger’s team released a statement warning of legal action against those circulating AI-generated videos and false claims spreading misinformation about the actor.
In the first photos that surfaced after the attack, Tiger was seen shirtless, with visible bandages on his chest and left arm. The pictures came as a relief to his fans. Videos and pictures from their meeting at the actor’s home surfaced online in which he appeared shirtless and showed his bandages. “Tiger Shroff’s vehicle was targeted. This incident is deeply concerning and condemnable; I condemn it in the strongest possible terms. I have spoken with the Police Commissioner, and I have also spoken with Tiger Shroff. The Mumbai Police Commissioner has formed several teams to track down those who opened fire—they will be apprehended and given a response in their own language. The actor escaped unhurt, but his driver and a fan who was near the vehicle sustained injuries. The actor rushed his driver to the hospital after the assailants fled on a bike. Later, three people were detained in Rajasthan’s Kota in connection with the case and taken into Mumbai Police custody.
On October 18, three assailants came in front of Tiger’s car and opened fire.
Reports said the actor suffered minor abrasions, was examined and later discharged. After his meeting with Tiger, Eknath Shinde condemned the attack, calling it “deeply concerning”. Our current priority is to keep Mumbai and its citizens safe,” Eknath Shinde said.
However, new photographs shared by Maharashtra minister Ashish Shelar, who visited the actor following the firing incident on Tuesday, showed Tiger without bandages. On Sunday, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had met Tiger after the firing incident. On Tuesday, the Delhi Police arrested four people, including two women, in connection with the firing incident.
