Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff reportedly became the target of a shooting incident in Mumbai, with his vehicle sustaining damage while he escaped unharmed, according to Indian media reports. The incident has raised concerns after a group claiming links to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi allegedly took responsibility for the attack.
The reported shooting took place on Sunday evening, October 18, 2026, in Mumbai. According to the source reports, the actor was returning after a football match when unidentified individuals allegedly opened fire on his vehicle.

Indian media reports state that three unidentified individuals travelling on a motorcycle allegedly fired at the actor’s vehicle. Although the vehicle was reportedly damaged, Tiger Shroff remained safe.
The reports also indicated that Shroff’s driver and an auto-rickshaw driver sustained injuries during the incident. The precise extent of their injuries was not immediately established in the available information.
Police reportedly recovered five bullet casings from the scene and began investigating the circumstances surrounding the shooting. Authorities were also working to identify the individuals allegedly involved.
The incident took another turn after a statement circulated on social media in which an individual identified in reports as gangster Anil Pandit allegedly claimed responsibility on behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi group.
According to the reported statement, the alleged attack was linked to Shroff’s friendship with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The statement also reportedly threatened that people close to Khan could face similar attacks in the future.
However, the claims circulating on social media had not been independently verified in the source material. The alleged motive and the authenticity of the statement therefore remain unconfirmed.
Salman Khan has previously been the subject of threats attributed to individuals associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The reported reference to Khan in the latest incident has consequently drawn attention to the alleged connection between the shooting and the actor’s personal associations.
Nevertheless, a claim of responsibility does not independently establish who carried out an attack or why it occurred. The investigation will be important in determining the circumstances of the incident and assessing the credibility of the allegations.
While Tiger Shroff reportedly escaped without injuries, the reported shooting has raised fresh concerns about the safety of Bollywood personalities and those around them.
Further verified information from investigators will be needed to establish the identities of the suspects, confirm the circumstances of the shooting and clarify whether the social media claims are connected to the incident.
For now, the alleged gang’s statement and the reported motive should be treated as unverified claims rather than established facts.
