Eknath Shinde met Tiger Shroff, assured help to the family
After the shooting, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Tiger’s residence on Sunday night to inquire about his well-being and assured the family of the state government’s support.
In the pictures of the meeting, Tiger was seen with a cloth on his shoulder and chest and a bandage on his right arm. His mother Ayesha Shroff was also present during the conversation.
Speaking to reporters after meeting the actor, Shinde condemned the attack and said five rounds were fired. He added that Tiger suffered injuries on his left hand due to gunpowder and glass fragments. Shinde also said that the actor and his mother were shaken by the incident.
“It’s a big incident… Five rounds were fired, but luckily, he was unharmed. His driver sustained injuries, and the incident is reprehensible. I met the actor; his left hand sustained injuries from gunpowder and glass fragments. Both he and his mother are quite shaken… I have assured them that the state government will not face any figure in public for making direct threats to them… such in the 90s. Gangwars will be tolerated, but the Mumbai police eliminated them in 1995… These attempts to intimidate people will not be tolerated, and we will end this hooliganism.
The Deputy Chief Minister reiterated that the government will take necessary steps to remove threats against public figures and ensure the safety of the family.
The shooting incident is being investigated.
