Tiger Shroff's Shooters Recced Big B, Salman Khan's Homes To Avoid Suspicion
The accused had earlier said that their original target was actor Salman Khan. However, seeing the heavy security outside his home, they decided to step back.
Mumbai Police have significantly increased security around actor Salman Khan's Bandra residence following a recent firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff. The heightened vigilance has also been extended to filmmaker Rohit Shetty's home. The move came after Anil Pandit, a close friend of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, issued threats to film personalities linked with Khan.
Armed police personnel, equipped with machine guns, are stationed outside Khan's building, while those wearing bulletproof jackets are also deployed in the vicinity. The police are closely monitoring the area for any suspicious activities and have imposed restrictions on movement near Khan's residence. Fans, who often throng the area to see the actor, are now prohibited from gathering outside.
Vehicles are also barred from stopping in front of the building. Even the windows at Khan's residence have been fortified due to the heightened security concerns. It is believed that Khan was the original target of the shooters who opened fire at Tiger Shroff, but the plan was abandoned after the attackers discovered the extensive security measures around him.
Shroff was then reportedly targeted after the shooters monitored his social media activities. The police's concerns are not limited to Khan alone; other actors such as Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan are also receiving protection. Shah Rukh, who is currently residing in Pali Hill while his home is undergoing renovations, is reportedly protected.
Aamir, on the other hand, has shifted from Pali Hill to Colaba. Meanwhile, Salman Khan has left Mumbai for an unknown location, likely missing the 'Bigg Boss' weekend shoot. Rohit Shetty is expected to step in as a replacement for Khan as a host.
