Police personnel are present at the scene and the probe is continuing. Early accounts describe the attackers as unknown gunmen who fled after firing several rounds at the vehicle.

"Three to four rounds were fired at actor Tiger Shroff’s car as he was leaving a ground in his vehicle. A large crowd had gathered to see him. Several rounds were fired at his car from within the crowd. Tiger Shroff was not hit by any bullets," Mumbai Police said, as per agency reports.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis called the Mumbai Police Commissioner to seek details about the firing incident involving the actor. He directed the Commissioner to expedite the investigation and take strict action against those responsible.

A Forensic team has reached the location. A video shows them collecting evidence from the spot where the firing incident occurred.

Some reports said that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the attack. The same gang has issued a fresh threat against actor Salman Khan, according to circulating claims. These assertions remain unverified by authorities at this stage.
