Three shooters allegedly involved in the assassination attempt on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff have been caught at Rajasthan’s Kota railway station while travelling by train.
They knew that the actor regularly visited the Juhu football ground on Sundays and tracked his movements to time the attack as he was leaving the venue in his car.
All three are said to be associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Investigating agencies suspect that the attack was carried out by trained shooters who had conducted a recce of the actor’s movements before carrying out the attack, according to news agency ANI. Sources said the assailants had planned the attack after monitoring Tiger Shroff’s weekly routine.
The firing took place in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening when unidentified assailants targeted Shroff’s car. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has warned that gang violence will not be tolerated in Mumbai, saying those behind the firing on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff would face a strong response. Shinde visited Shroff at his residence in Mumbai’s Bandra area late Sunday night following the firing. The actor escaped without injuries, while his driver and another person were injured. “Their roots were dug up in the 1990s when gang wars had flourished.
He checked on the 36-year-old actor’s health, spoke to his concerned family and assured them that adequate security would be provided.
The time has come to uproot them in the same way again,” he said.
