Fresh photographs of Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff have emerged following a firing incident in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening. The images show the Heropanti actor with a bandage on his arm and dressings around his shoulder and chest as Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited him at his residence.
Shinde met the actor on Sunday night to enquire about his well-being and assured him and his family of the state government’s support. The incident has prompted a police investigation, with officials working to identify those responsible for the shooting.
First Images Show Actor With Bandages
Photographs taken during Shinde’s visit showed Tiger seated with the deputy chief minister. Dressings were visible on his arm, shoulder and chest.
Shinde later said the actor had suffered injuries caused by gunpowder and glass fragments. Initial reports and statements about the extent of Tiger’s injuries have varied, while police updates reported that the actor had not sustained a gunshot wound.
Tiger’s family members were also present during the visit. Shinde condemned the firing and assured the family that the authorities would take action.
What Happened in Juhu?
The firing was reported on Sunday evening, October 18, near Pushpa Narsee Park in Mumbai’s Juhu area. According to media reports, Tiger had been playing football and was leaving the area when shots were fired near his vehicle.
Police reports said multiple rounds were fired. The actor was reported safe, but his driver and another person were reported injured in the incident.
The suspected shooters reportedly fled on a motorcycle. Investigators are examining CCTV footage and other evidence to trace their movements and establish how the attack was carried out.
Police Investigate Suspects and Possible Motive
Mumbai Police have formed teams to investigate the case and identify the suspects. Investigators are examining footage from the area and possible escape routes.
A social media post attributed to individuals claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang reportedly claimed responsibility for the firing. However, the authenticity of the claim and the suspects’ alleged affiliations had not been independently established in the reports reviewed.
Authorities will need to verify the claim and establish the motive through the investigation.
Eknath Shinde Assures Support
During his meeting with Tiger, Shinde condemned the shooting and said the state government would support the actor and his family. He also stressed that threats and violence against public figures would not be tolerated.
The investigation remains ongoing, and the identities of the people responsible and the motive behind the firing have yet to be conclusively established.
