An investigation into an assassination bid targetting Tiger Shroff has revealed that Salman Khan was on target. Shots were fired at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car on Sunday evening, but he wasn’t the original target. However, seeing the heavy security outside ‘ Bajrangi Bhaijaan ‘ actor’s home, the attackers had to step back.
The shooters conducted a recce of Salman Khan’s house, according to the sources.
During an interrogation, the three accused revealed that they arrived in Mumbai aiming to assassinate another high-profile individual , sources said. “In the entire film industry, whoever works without aligning with us, or works with Salman Khan, will be killed. This is the first and last warning.”
The three men identified as Hritik alias Roshan (22), from Begusarai in Bihar, Rehan (18), from Sonipat in Haryana, and Phool Singh (18), also from Haryana were arrested within 24 hours on Monday.
“After checking out areas frequented by this individual, the shooters realised that they would not be able to get to the person.
This was when they shifted their target to Tiger Shroff after learning – through reels posted by his fans – that the actor does not have police protection,” said a source. “The shooters have said that their intent was to spread terror within Bollywood by killing Shroff,” the source added. He added that Tiger Shroff “was counselled, but did not understand us” and issued death threats to those linked to actor Salman Khan.
