Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Claims Responsibility for Tiger Shroff Shooting, Issues Threats Linked to Salman Khan
On October 18, 2026, Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff was targeted in a shooting near Juhu, Mumbai, escaping unharmed while his driver was injured. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang, led by jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, allegedly claimed responsibility through associates Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu, linking the attack to Shroff's association with Salman Khan. The gang threatened others in the film industry working with Khan, citing a decades-old blackbuck poaching case as the root of their hostility. Mumbai Police are investigating the incident and verifying the claims.
