The attack on Tiger Shroff’s car has widened into a security story for another Bandra address. Mumbai Police have increased deployment outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments after investigation leads reportedly linked the October 18 Juhu firing to a possible earlier recce of the residence.
What happened on October 18
Three motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire at Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Seven rounds were fired at the vehicle, according to reports. Tiger was unhurt, but his driver and a passerby were injured.
The police response has since progressed from the attack to the supply chain: four people have been arrested for allegedly supplying weapons. That part of the case remains the official track so far.
Why Salman Khan’s residence is under watch
The strengthened presence around Galaxy Apartments follows reports citing investigation sources. Those reports say the accused had conducted a recce of the Bandra residence before the attack. The suggestion is that Salman was considered an initial target, but the plan was dropped because the security around his home was difficult to breach.
Police have not publicly confirmed that target claim. Additional personnel, vehicles and armed officers in bulletproof jackets are now visible around the area, and patrolling has been heightened.
DCP (Special Cell) Praveen Tripathi addressed the role of the four arrested for alleged weapon supply. He said their interrogation did not reveal another celebrity target.
Their knowledge was limited strictly to where to procure the weapons and where to deliver them.
Source-based reports have separately named Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan as public figures whose associated locations were allegedly looked at during reconnaissance. Those names remain part of unconfirmed reporting, not official police findings.
For fans, the line is simple
A visible security increase is a precaution, not a verdict. The confirmed facts are the attack, the injuries and the weapon-supply arrests. The recce angle is still an investigation lead.
- Follow Mumbai Police and official statements for confirmed updates.
- Treat reports of a celebrity target as leads until police say so.
- Expect the Bandra area to stay visibly policed while the probe continues.
The Juhu firing put two people in hospital and reopened a difficult conversation about star security. For now, the health of the case is best measured by what police confirm, not by every name circulating in reports.
