What happened in Tiger Shroff firing incident?
The firing took place in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening, October 18, 2026. According to reports, 3 unidentified assailants arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire at Tiger Shroff’s car as he was leaving after a football match.
Tiger Shroff escaped without injuries, but his driver and a bystander were injured and taken to hospital. Both were later reported to be out of danger.
Following the incident, a social media post and an audio message attributed to people claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang surfaced. The messages reportedly claimed responsibility for the firing and demanded that Salman apologise to the Bishnoi community.
Why is Salman Khan being asked to apologise to the Bishnoi community?
The dispute dates back to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan. The Bishnoi community regards the blackbuck as sacred, and the case has remained a source of resentment.
Salman has faced repeated threats over the years, including a firing incident outside his Bandra residence in April 2024. The latest incident involving Tiger Shroff has new concerns about the security of Bollywood actors.
