Mumbai Police are investigating an alleged gang connection after unidentified attackers reportedly fired at the vehicle carrying Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff in Juhu on October 18, 2026. A message attributed to people claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang reportedly claimed responsibility for the incident.
What is being claimed?
Media reports said a social media message and an audio recording circulated after the firing. The claim reportedly referred to Tiger Shroff and his professional association with actor Salman Khan. These are allegations whose authenticity and relevance must be tested during the investigation.
Details of the Juhu incident
The shooting was reported near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai’s Juhu area. The attackers were described in reports as motorcycle-borne men who opened fire at the vehicle before leaving the scene.
Tiger Shroff escaped without gunshot injuries. His driver and another person were reportedly injured and received medical attention.
Police seek corroborating evidence
Investigators are examining CCTV footage, forensic evidence and witness accounts to identify the suspects and establish the motive. They will also need to verify the origin and authenticity of the circulating message before drawing conclusions about any alleged gang involvement.
Why verification matters
Claims circulated online can attract attention quickly, but they are not the same as an official finding. Until investigators establish the facts, responsibility for the shooting should not be stated as conclusively proven against a particular organisation.
Latest position
The case remains under investigation. Updates about arrests, the motive or a confirmed connection should be added only when supported by official information or credible reporting.
