The increased security comes after an audio recording attributed to US-based gangster Anil Pandit surfaced following the attack on Tiger. Pandit, who has claimed association with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, had purportedly claimed responsibility for the firing and issued a threat to Salman.
In the audio, he can be heard saying, “Listen to me carefully, Salman Khan. If you don’t apologise to my elder brother, Lawrence Bishnoi, or the Bishnoi community, then we won’t even leave a dog in your house. We will destroy your entire family. Keep this in mind. Don’t think that you are in security and nothing will happen to you.”
The authenticity of the purported threat and its connection to the Tiger Shroff firing are being investigated.
What happened during Tiger Shroff firing?
The attack took place on Sunday evening when Tiger was leaving a football ground in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Assailants allegedly opened fire at his BMW shortly after the vehicle reached the main road. Tiger escaped without a gunshot injury, while his driver and another person were injured in the firing.
Police have since registered an attempt-to-murder case under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant provisions of the Arms Act.
Three accused caught in Kota
Two men have been arrested and a juvenile detained in connection with the firing. They were apprehended in Kota, Rajasthan, following inputs shared by Mumbai Police. The suspects include 18-year-old Rehan from Haryana, 22-year-old Hritik Kumar alias Roshan, originally from Bihar, and a 17-year-old boy from Sonipat, Haryana.
A joint team of the Rajasthan Anti-Gangster Task Force and Kota City Police apprehended the three after they travelled to Kota aboard the Pune-Jaipur Express.
Investigators are now examining the role allegedly played by each suspect as well as claims of links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
