Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff escaped unharmed in a shooting incident in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday. His driver, however, sustained injuries in the attack and was admitted to Nanavati Hospital.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has reportedly claimed responsibility for firing at the actor’s car, according to The Statesman.

Anil Pandit, described as a notorious member of the gang, stated he carried out the attack along with an accomplice, Harman Sandhu.

Around five rounds were fired at Shroff’s BMW car. The incident occurred outside the Juhu home of filmmaker Rohit Shetty.

“A firing incident has been reported under Juhu police station. Actor Tiger Shroff is safe and has not sustained any gunshot injuries. Further investigation is underway,” a Mumbai police statement said, according to ANI.

The gang linked to the shooting has been tied to a series of high-profile incidents in India, most notably the 2022 killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, the 2024 murder of politician Baba Siddique in Mumbai, and a firing incident outside Salman Khan’s Bandra residence in April the same year.

The same network has also been associated with attacks on figures perceived as close to Khan, including opening fire at a Delhi gym linked to singer Guru Randhawa in June. In 2025, the gang was linked to multiple firing incidents outside Indian comedian Kapil Sharma’s café in Canada.

American prosecutors have described Lawrence Bishnoi as a transnational organised crime syndicate using public claims of violence to intimidate targets and fuel extortion operations.
