Salman Khan Was Original Target? Tiger Shroff's Shooters Recced Actor's House

Security has been increased around the Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai, home to actor Salman Khan, following an incident involving Tiger Shroff. Police have heightened their scrutiny of vehicles in the vicinity as a preventive measure. This comes in the wake of an ongoing probe into a shooting incident that occurred outside a football ground in Juhu, where Tiger Shroff was present on Sunday, October 18.

The situation has also brought to light an earlier warning communicated through a voice note on social media, allegedly associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang and referencing Tiger Shroff's connection to Salman Khan. In a related development, all three suspects in the Tiger Shroff shooting case have been apprehended in Kota, Rajasthan.

The Anti-Gangster Task Force, in collaboration with Rajasthan Police, apprehended them at the Kota railway station while they were en route from Mumbai to Delhi. Reports indicate that the accused had traveled by train and were seized at the station. Although the actor sustained no serious injuries, his driver was shot and rushed to the hospital for treatment.

A social media post purportedly claiming responsibility for the attack surfaced from a Facebook account named ‘Anmol Bishnoi’. The message names Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu as purported representatives of the gang, stating that they had warned Shroff but claim he ignored the warning. The post also threatens industry members who do not comply with the gang's demands or continue working with Salman Khan, warning of potential retaliation.

The authenticity of the social media claim and the identities of those responsible for the shooting are currently under police investigation. On April 14, 2024, at around 4:45 am, two men arrived on a motorcycle and fired five shots outside Khan's Galaxy Apartment in Bandra. The five accused involved in the case are Vickykumar Gupta, Sagarkumar Pal, Sonukumar Bishnoi, Rafiq Choudhari, and Harpal Hardeep Singh.

Among the arrested suspects are Lawrence Bishnoi, Anmol Bishnoi, and Ravtaram Swami, also known as Rohit Godara.
