With Diwali round the corner, they thought someone was bursting crackers. It was only later it dawned on them it that bullets were fired at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, son of the ’80s star Jackie Shroff.
The incident occurred near Pushpa Park within the Juhu police station limits in the western suburb, and police are piecing together the chain of events, an official said on Sunday. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis spoke to the actor over the phone on Sunday and assured him of support, saying the accused would be traced soon, according to the Chief Minister’s Office. A viral video showed an unidentified person opening fire on the actor’s car. “They were playing football. Three or four celebrities – Aparshakti Khurana, Abhishek Bajaj, and Abhimanyu – were already present. “Everything was fine when they stepped outside. They shook hands with everyone, and before that, they even posed for photos.
The 36-year-old actor escaped unhurt after gunmen opened fire at his car in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening.
Shroff’s driver and another driver of an autorickshaw were injured in the incident, police said. The atmosphere was completely normal,” Sheikh said. But as soon as the vehicle moved past the gate – it hadn’t even gone ten paces – those men got out and opened fire,” Sheikh said.
