Tiger Shroff firing incident under investigation
The clarification comes as the investigation into the October 18 firing incident continues. Mumbai Police had confirmed that Shroff was safe and had not suffered any gunshot injury after unidentified people opened fire at his car near Pushpa Park. Police subsequently registered a case and launched a search for those responsible.
A social media claim attributed responsibility for the attack to individuals allegedly linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. However, initial reports noted that the authenticity of the claim and the alleged gang connection had not been independently verified by police.
