The alleged assassination attempt on Tiger Shroff has taken an unexpected turn, with sources telling NDTV that the actor was not the original target of the shooters.
Sources said on Tuesday that interrogation of the three shooters had revealed that they arrived in Mumbai aiming to assassinate another high-profile individual. “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,” Pandit said.
“After checking out areas frequented by this individual, the shooters realised that they would not be able to get to the person. The men ended up firing seven shots at Shroff, who was in his car, and intended to fire more, but a gun jammed. The actor and his driver were injured, but managed to drive away.
Because he was asked to end his association with actor Salman Khan, but he did not comply, hours after the shooting, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang took responsibility and said Shroff had been targeted.
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.
