Shooting Incident in Juhu Leaves Tiger Shroff Unharmed
On Sunday, October 18, 2026, three men on a motorcycle opened fire at Tiger Shroff’s BMW as he left Pushpa Park in Juhu, Mumbai. The actor escaped without injury; his driver suffered a gunshot wound to the left hand, and an autorickshaw driver was also injured and taken to hospital. Police reported three to four rounds were discharged, while other footage shows at least five distinct gunshots. The case is being investigated by the Juhu police station under Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohit Garg.
Background: Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Threats to Bollywood
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang, led by jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, has threatened Bollywood figures, notably Salman Khan. In 2023, the National Investigation Agency listed Khan among ten primary targets of the gang, citing a 1998 black-buck hunting case that offended the Bishnoi community. The gang has previously claimed responsibility for attacks on director Rohit Shetty and comedian Kapil Sharma.
