According to a police official, the incident took place around 7 pm on Sunday when Tiger was walking out of Juhu’s Pushpa Park after a football session. Three men came on a motorcycle and allegedly started firing when the actor was getting into his car.
The Tiger was unhurt in the firing, while its driver Firdaus and another staff member Umesh Chavan were injured.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohit Garg has confirmed that two people were injured in the attack. The driver of the Tiger, Firdaus, sustained minor injuries and is out of danger, while another staff member, Umesh Chavan, was shot. Both are undergoing treatment in the hospital. Garg added that no bullet hit the tiger.
The police have deployed 15 teams to trace the attackers
The Mumbai Police has started an investigation into the incident and has formed 15 teams to trace the unidentified assailants. Investigators are also examining CCTV footage from surrounding areas to identify those involved and determine the motive behind the shooting.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack, which happened when the actor was leaving the venue after his football session.
Shooting events involving Bollywood celebrities
The incident adds to a string of shooting attacks involving members of the Hindi film industry over the years.
In 1997, filmmaker Rajeev Roy survived a shooting outside his Mumbai office. In the same year, T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar was shot dead outside a temple in Andheri. In 2000, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan was shot and injured outside his office in Santa Cruz.
Recently, gunmen opened fire outside Salman Khan’s Bandra residence in April 2024. In September 2025, a similar incident took place outside actress Disha Patani’s family home in Bareilly. In February 2026, filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s house in Juhu was also targeted in firing.
Currently, the investigation into the shooting incident of Tiger Shroff is going on.
