A death threat allegedly issued to Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff has been declared a rumour. According to reports, the Mumbai police control room received an anonymous call from a Punjab resident, claiming "death threat" to Tiger. The caller, believed to be Manish Kumar Sujinder Singh, also gave details of the "plot" to "kill" the actor. It has also been revealed that Singh allegedly told authorities that those part of the plan had also received ₹2 lakh to carry out the job.
