Indian police have arrested three suspects after shots were fired at Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai, according to Mwananchi, citing Indian media. The actor was unharmed, but his driver was shot in the arm during the attack, which took place on 18 October in the Juhu district.
The shots were fired as Tiger Shroff was leaving a ground where he had just played football. A group linked to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi claimed responsibility for the attack in a message, saying the actor had been targeted for failing to heed warnings concerning his collaboration with Salman Khan, another Bollywood star, reports Mwananchi.
The case is part of a series of threats targeting Indian celebrities. Salman Khan has notably been threatened since a case involving the hunting of a blackbuck, a protected antelope revered by the Bishnoi community. Director Rohit Shetty and comedian Kapil Sharma have also been linked to attacks or threats attributed to the group, according to Mwananchi.
The arrests come after the shooting targeting Tiger Shroff in Mumbai, reported in the attack targeting Tiger Shroff on 18 October. That initial report said two people had been injured, while the new assessment cited by Mwananchi specifies that the actor was not hit and that his driver was injured in the hand.
