The assassination attempt on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai has created a sensation. He escaped with minor injuries in a shooting incident by unidentified persons in Juhu area last night. After the incident, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Tiger's residence. In the first photos released after the attack, Tiger was seen with a bandage on his shoulder and chest and his right hand.
The attack took place at 7 pm last night when Tiger Shroff was coming out of a football club. Police said that the assailants fired five rounds at him. Tiger narrowly escaped death in the incident. However, he was injured in the hand due to gunpowder and broken glass fragments that flew during the shooting. Tiger's driver and another person were injured in the attack.
Eknath Shinde, who met Tiger at his residence a few hours after the incident, later spoke to the media. He issued a stern warning that such rowdyism and threats will not be tolerated in the state. "We will not let anyone's dadagiri run in Mumbai (Kisi ki bhi dadagiri Mumbai mein nahi chalegi)," he made it clear. He said that
Tiger and his mother Ayesha Shroff were deeply shocked by the incident and he assured them that the government would support them.
On this occasion, Shinde recalled the conditions in Mumbai in the 90s. "Such gang wars were common in the 90s. But, after 1995, the Mumbai police completely stopped them. We will not let such situations repeat again," he said.
The police have registered a case and intensified the investigation into the incident, which took place under the jurisdiction of Juhu police station. Special teams have been deployed to catch the assailants. The full details are yet to be revealed in the investigation.
