Shinde said the incident was serious and that both Tiger and his mother, Ayesha Shroff, had been shaken by what happened. He reiterated that threats and attempts to intimidate people would not be accepted.
“This is a major incident… five rounds were fired, but fortunately, he was safe. His driver sustained injuries, and the incident is condemnable. I met with the actor; he has injuries on his left hand caused by gunpowder and shards of glass. Both he and his mother are quite shaken… I have assured them that the state government stands with them in the face of the open threats being directed at public figures… No form of threat will be tolerated,” Shinde said.
The deputy chief minister’s visit came after unidentified individuals allegedly opened fire as Tiger was leaving a football club in Mumbai on Sunday evening. Actor Disha Patani also arrived at the actor’s residence later.
Shinde warns against return of Mumbai’s gang wars
Reflecting on the city’s history of gang-related violence, Shinde said the Mumbai Police had curbed such activities in the 1990s and would act firmly against any attempt to revive them. He stressed that criminal intimidation would not be allowed to take hold again.
“Such gang wars were quite common in the 90s, but the Mumbai Police put an end to them in 1995… These attempts to intimidate people will not be tolerated, and we will put an end to this hooliganism,” he said.
