A vehicle carrying actor Tiger Shroff was fired at multiple times near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai’s Juhu on Sunday evening, prompting a police investigation and renewed concern over firearm incidents in crowded urban neighbourhoods. Shroff was reported to be out of danger, while police said he had not suffered a firearm injury.
The actor and his driver were taken to Nanavati Hospital in Vile Parle after the incident. Hospital sources cited in the report said the driver had suffered a bullet injury to his left hand, although police had not independently confirmed that detail. Doctors said Shroff had sustained a few abrasions but no bullet wounds.
A police officer quoted by the report said, “Tiger Shroff is safe. He has not suffered any firearm injury. Further investigation is underway.” Juhu Police were examining the crime scene and investigating the circumstances of the firing. The report did not identify the attackers or establish how many shots were fired.
Preliminary reports cited by the Times of India said Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu, described as members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, had claimed responsibility through a voice note and an X post purportedly linked to Pandit. The reported message allegedly threatened people associated with actor Salman Khan. Police had not publicly confirmed the authenticity of the claim or established the attackers’ identities.
The firing reportedly took place at around 7pm on a weekend near Pushpa Narsee Park, an area used by residents and visitors. That timing and location have placed attention on the ability of Mumbai’s neighbourhood policing and surveillance systems to deter and respond to armed attacks in public-facing spaces. The supplied report did not provide details on CCTV footage, the weapon used, the number of suspects or whether any arrests had been made.
The incident follows other high-profile episodes cited in the report, including the fatal attack on politician Baba Siddiqui in Bandra and firing at Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartment in Bandra Bandstand. The report also said that a threat had been issued against actor Aamir Khan in July 2026. These references formed part of the wider security concern surrounding threats allegedly linked to the Bishnoi gang, but they do not by themselves establish a connection between those incidents and Sunday’s firing.
The attack drew reactions from political and public figures. Zeeshan Siddiqui, the son of Baba Siddiqui, expressed shock and concern, while NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule raised questions about the law-and-order situation in Maharashtra. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis called the Mumbai Police Commissioner to inquire about the incident, according to sources in the Chief Minister’s Office, and instructed the commissioner to conduct a swift investigation and take strict action against those responsible.
The immediate investigation will determine whether the reported responsibility claim is genuine, identify the people involved, establish the sequence of events and clarify the injuries sustained by the driver. Police action and further official updates are expected to establish those facts.
