Mumbai: Security outside Salman Khan’s residence, Galaxy Apartments in Bandra, has been significantly strengthened following the firing incident targeting actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai. Police personnel wearing bulletproof jackets, along with additional police vehicles, have been deployed outside the actor’s residence as a precautionary measure.
According to Mumbai Police, unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire at Tiger Shroff’s car on Sunday evening at around 7 PM as the actor was leaving a football club in Juhu. While Tiger escaped unharmed, his driver sustained injuries during the attack. Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohit Garg confirmed that the actor’s vehicle was targeted as it exited the club premises.
Crime Branch expands investigation
The Mumbai Crime Branch has intensified its investigation and reportedly extended its search operation to Gujarat in an effort to trace the suspects. Preliminary findings suggest that the attackers had allegedly monitored Tiger Shroff’s movements and were aware of his regular Sunday visits to the football ground.
Investigators suspect the accused conducted reconnaissance of the area before carrying out the attack. According to sources, the assailants fled via SV Road towards Vile Parle and Andheri before abandoning their motorcycle near Andheri West railway station. They are believed to have boarded a train towards Borivali and may have later escaped to Gujarat to evade arrest.
Multiple teams conducting raids
Several Crime Branch teams are conducting raids at suspected hideouts to identify and apprehend those involved in the firing. The investigation is currently underway, and police are examining multiple leads connected to the incident.
Following the attack, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Tiger Shroff’s residence on Sunday night. He said the actor suffered minor injuries to his left hand due to gunpowder residue and shattered glass. Shinde also met Tiger’s mother, Ayesha Shroff, and assured the family of full support from the state government.
FIR registered under BNS and Arms Act
Police have registered an FIR against three unidentified individuals. The case has been filed under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with Sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act. Authorities have stated that strict action will be taken against those responsible, while investigations continue to determine the motive behind the attack.
