Following the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff, security has been heightened at the residences of several Bollywood actors in Mumbai’s Juhu and Bandra areas. Mumbai Police has stepped up security measures, while Akshay Kumar and other actors are taking precautions to ensure their safety.
The investigation into the firing incident involving Tiger Shroff is underway. Sources told India TV that gangster Anil Pandit, who reportedly works for the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, planned the attack about a month ago.
Meanwhile, three key accused in the case were brought to Mumbai from Kota, Rajasthan, early on Wednesday and taken to GT Hospital for a medical examination. According to Mumbai Police, five to six rounds were fired at the actor’s car, and the motorcycle allegedly used by the shooters was later found abandoned in Andheri.
The accused fled to Surat before boarding a train to Jaipur and were planning to travel to Delhi by bus before escaping to Nepal. Police have registered a case under charges of attempt to murder and the Arms Act, as per PTI.
On Sunday evening, Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff escaped unharmed after a firing incident in Mumbai’s Juhu area.
