Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff escaped unharmed after a firing incident in Mumbai's Juhu area on Sunday evening. His driver, Firdaus, and another man who was present at the spot were injured and are undergoing treatment, according to information from Mumbai Police.

The incident took place near Pushpa Park in Juhu, where Tiger had reportedly gone to play football. As the actor was leaving the area, three men on a motorcycle allegedly opened fire near his vehicle. Reports suggest that three rounds were fired. Tiger did not sustain any injuries.

Tiger Shroff's Driver Injured In Left Hand

Mumbai Police said Tiger's driver, identified as Firdaus, suffered an injury to his left hand. He is safe and has been admitted to hospital for treatment.

Another person, identified as Mr Chauhan, who was present at the spot when the incident occurred, was also injured. He has been hospitalised and is receiving further treatment. The exact nature of his injuries has not yet been detailed.

Police have categorically confirmed that Tiger is "absolutely safe".

Initial reports had triggered concern about the actor's condition soon after news of the firing emerged. However, DCP Mohit Garg later confirmed that Tiger had not suffered any gunshot injury. His father Jackie Shroff's team also told India Today, "Tiger is okay."

Mumbai Police Launches Investigation

The Mumbai Police and Crime Branch have begun investigating the firing. According to reports, the area was cordoned off following the incident and police teams began examining the circumstances in which the attackers approached the actor's vehicle.

India Today reported that 12 teams have been constituted to track down those responsible. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also spoke to Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti and sought details about the incident, while directing officials to expedite the investigation.

The Indian Express reported that the incident occurred as Tiger was returning home after playing football and a crowd had gathered in the area to see him. His driver was subsequently taken to Nanavati Hospital.

Gang Claim Surfaces After Firing

Hours after the incident, an audio clip and social media messages surfaced in which individuals claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang purportedly took responsibility for the attack. One such claim also referred to Tiger's association with Salman Khan.

However, police have not publicly established the authenticity of the claim or confirmed it as the motive behind the firing. India Today reported that the gang claim remained unverified as the investigation continued.

Police are now working to identify the assailants and establish why Tiger was targeted. As of the latest update, the actor remains safe, while his driver Firdaus and Mr Chauhan continue to receive medical treatment.
