New Developments in Tiger Shroff Shooting Case: Alleged Attackers Targeted Salman Khan First

Mumbai, October 20 (Daily Kiran) : A significant twist has emerged in the shooting case involving actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai’s Juhu area. According to sources within the Mumbai police, the three suspects arrested in connection with the incident had previously scouted the residence of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. However, they retreated upon noticing police presence nearby.

This revelation raises serious concerns across both Bollywood and law enforcement. Salman Khan has been a target of threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in the past, with a shooting incident occurring outside his Galaxy Apartments in Bandra back in April 2024.

Despite the alarming new details, the police have yet to issue an official statement regarding the latest developments in the Tiger Shroff case. They have confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and that they are examining all angles related to the shooting.

Earlier inquiries revealed that the initial target of the suspects was not Tiger Shroff but rather another celebrity. When they could not reach their original target, they shifted their focus to Shroff.

Further investigations indicated that the suspects monitored Shroff’s activities through social media. They gathered information about his movements and police protection by analyzing Instagram reels and posts from him and his fans.

The attackers aimed not only to harm the actor but also to instill fear within the Bollywood community. Authorities are currently investigating how the plot was organized and whether any other individuals were involved.

The incident occurred on a Sunday evening after Shroff had played a football match. As he drove away in his car, multiple rounds were fired at him, causing panic in the area. The police swiftly launched an investigation and began searching for the suspects.

The arrested individuals, identified as Rehan, Phool Singh, and Hrithik Kumar, were apprehended in Kota, Rajasthan. They face serious charges, including attempted murder. Police recovered five empty cartridges and two live rounds from the scene, with initial reports indicating that Phool Singh fired five rounds during the attack.

The investigation continues as authorities delve deeper into the case.
