Eight months of intense planning involving three specialised hit squads is what took gangsters from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to execute the attack on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, sources have revealed. On the evening of October 18, at least two men fired at the 36-year-old actor’s car when he was exiting the Pushpa Narsee Park (also known as the Pushpa Narsee Ground) in Juhu following a game of football.
Shortly after the incident, Anil Pandit , a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the attack, citing Shroff’s proximity to actor Salman Khan, whom the gang has been attempting to target over the blackbuck poaching case. The investigation has also found that the attack was allegedly planned to extort money, establish the gang’s dominance and create an atmosphere of fear within the film industry.
The conspirators were divided into three groups, with each assigned specific operational responsibilities for executing the attack, the sources said.
