A harrowing shooting incident unfolded in the Juhu area of Mumbai on Sunday, October 18, when three motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire on actor Tiger Shroff's vehicle before fleeing the scene. The brazen attack has sent shockwaves through the Hindi film industry, reviving memories of past violent threats and high-profile security breaches. The incident is closely linked by authorities to the ongoing terror tactics employed by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which was previously implicated in the tragic assassination of politician and Salman Khan associate Baba Siddiki on Mumbai's streets two years prior.
Targeting Figures Close to Salman Khan
The latest assault on Tiger Shroff appears to stem from his perceived closeness to Salman Khan, a connection that has repeatedly put celebrities in the crosshairs of the Bishnoi syndicate. Over recent years, several notable names including Rohit शेट्टी, Guru Randhawa, Kapil Sharma, and AP Dhillon have faced similar threats or attacks. The syndicate has repeatedly signaled that anyone maintaining professional or personal ties with Salman Khan will face severe retaliation. In the wake of the Juhu shooting, a social media post surfaced wherein an individual named Anil Pandit claimed responsibility on behalf of the network, alleging that warnings had been issued prior to the violent escalation.
Zeeshan Siddique Speaks Out on Safety and Inaction
Reflecting on the ongoing ordeal, Zeeshan Siddique expressed deep anguish over the fact that his family has waited two years for closure following his father's murder. He voiced strong frustration regarding the deteriorating safety standards in the financial capital, noting that if actors, politicians, and prominent businessmen remain vulnerable, the general public faces an even greater risk. Zeeshan revealed that he has received four direct threats over the preceding two months, yet local authorities have failed to upgrade his protective detail, leading him to question whether the administration is waiting for another tragedy to occur before taking decisive action.
Demands for Interrogation and Accountability
Addressing the broader criminal network, Zeeshan emphasized that his family has made continuous appeals to the US government to facilitate the repatriation of Anmol Bishnoi to India, expressing dismay that Mumbai investigators have yet to secure an opportunity to question him. Furthermore, he demanded rigorous interrogation of Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently lodged in a Gujarat prison, to uncover the true masterminds orchestrating these targeted acts of violence. Highlighting the urgency of the situation, he urged the government to implement the strictest possible security measures to restore law and order.
