Political Leaders Exchange Accusations Following Tiger Shroff Firing Incident
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut linked the October 18 firing at actor Tiger Shroff's car to a Mumbai mafia network, accusing Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of being mafia leaders. Raut called for a regime change, while Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray questioned security lapses. Maharashtra minister Nitesh Rane countered by comparing Thackeray to gangster Dawood Ibrahim, accusing him of supporting illegal migrants. The exchange reflects escalating political tensions over the attack and security concerns in Mumbai.
