Tiger Shroff Firing Linked to Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Amid Salman Khan Dispute
On October 18, 2026, Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car was fired upon in Mumbai's Juhu area, leaving him unharmed but injuring his driver and a bystander. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang, led by jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, allegedly claimed responsibility through social media posts and audio messages by associates Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu. The attack is linked to Shroff's association with Salman Khan, who has been targeted by the gang over a decades-old blackbuck poaching case. Police investigations continue, with arrests made and efforts to verify the gang's involvement and threats to the film industry.
