Tiger was leaving a football stadium after a game when two shooters allegedly fired seven rounds at his car, five of which hit the vehicle. His driver and another person were injured in the incident.
Due to the firing, there was chaos in the area. After the injured driver got out of the car, the two shooters escaped on a bike which was kept ready by their third accomplice. Tiger then took the driver’s seat and rushed his injured driver to Nanavati Hospital.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis spoke to Tiger over phone to inquire about his condition and assured him that strict action will be taken against the attackers and the mastermind of the attack. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also met the actor at his residence, where Tiger was seen wearing bandages on his arms and clothes on his chest.
