Manoj Bajpayee has described the firing on Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai’s Juhu neighbourhood as “really scary.” Speaking to ANI, he said the best news is that the actor is safe and his driver is recovering, and he urged investigators to wrap up quickly so the case sets an example.
What happened in Juhu
On Sunday, October 18, unidentified assailants fired at Tiger Shroff’s car and fled on a motorcycle. The actor escaped without gunshot injuries, while his driver, Firdous, and a bystander were taken to Nanavati Hospital. The driver is recovering, Bajpayee noted.
Where the case stands
- Mumbai Crime Branch’s Anti-Extortion Cell is leading the investigation.
- Suspected shooters were intercepted in Kota after reportedly moving through Gujarat and Rajasthan.
- On October 21, a court sent three accused to police custody until October 31.
- Delhi Police’s Special Cell has arrested people linked to an alleged interstate weapons supply network.
Investigators are also looking into a possible overseas-based syndicate allegedly connected to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. An online claim of responsibility has been reported, but the alleged links and motive remain under investigation.
Why the industry is watching closely
Bajpayee’s reaction puts the fear plainly: this did not look like a gang war, yet shots were fired from an unknown direction. Security has been raised around Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments in Bandra after reports that the accused may have surveyed other high-profile homes.
Tiger Shroff’s team has asked the public and media to avoid speculation while the authorities establish what happened and whether a wider conspiracy was involved.
For Bollywood watchers, the next checkpoint is October 31, when the current police custody ends. Until then, the most useful response is patience—letting investigators establish the motive before drawing conclusions.
