Tiger Shroff Had A Narrow Escape As Turkish Pistol Jammed During Firing

Mumbai-based actor Tiger Shroff narrowly escaped a firing attack on October 18, according to police. The incident, which took place at close range, left the star shocked and baffled, questioning why anyone would target him. After the attack, police recovered two firearms allegedly used in the attack - a Turkish-made Zigana pistol and a country-made pistol.

The accused - Rehan, Ritik, and Phool Singh - allegedly threw the weapons from the Pune-Jaipur Express while fleeing from Surat. Phool Singh fired five rounds from the country-made pistol during the attack, while Rehan tried to fire two more rounds from the Zigana pistol, but both cartridges failed to discharge due to jamming. If the Zigana pistol had worked properly, the consequences could have been serious, according to police sources.

The investigation reveals that the accused were largely in the age group of 18 to 25 years and were mostly recruited from Sonipat in Haryana. Eight of the 11 accused are reportedly from Sonipat district.
