History

Historical Context

On 12 August 1997, D-Company gunmen killed T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar, who had turned a 1983 fruit-juice stall into a Bollywood music powerhouse. His murder sparked gang-linked attacks on the film industry, a trend echoed when actor Tiger Shroff was shot in Juhu, allegedly by Bishnoi gang members coordinated from the United States. Authorities now tighten studio security and seek cross-border cooperation.
