Tiger Shroff Firing: Eknath Shinde Vows Strict Action Against Gangs

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde met actor Tiger Shroff after three motorcycle-borne men allegedly opened fire at his car in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening. The actor is reported to be safe, while his driver sustained injuries.

Visuals from the meeting showed Tiger seated beside Shinde, with dressings visible on his chest and a bandage wrapped around his left arm.

Shinde strongly condemned the incident, describing it as deeply concerning and assuring that those responsible would face strict action. He said he had spoken to the Mumbai Police Commissioner, who had formed several teams to identify and apprehend the accused.

Shinde said, “We prioritise the safety of Mumbai and its citizens. The police and the government must protect everyone, whether a celebrity or an ordinary citizen. We will not tolerate any negligence, and we will spare no gang, regardless of its identity.”

The Deputy Chief Minister further recalled the Mumbai Police’s crackdown on organised crime during the 1990s, reiterating the government’s resolve to maintain law and order.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has directed the Police Commissioner to investigate the firing immediately and take strict action against those found responsible.

The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) expressed deep anguish over the incident, arguing that the attack on Tiger Shroff raised wider concerns about public safety.

“Today it is Tiger Shroff. Who is next? When a celebrity is not safe in the heart of Mumbai, how can an ordinary Mumbaikar feel safe?” the association said in part of its tweet.
