Indian police advise Bollywood stars to avoid public places after shooting, local media report

Police urged Bollywood stars to avoid crowds and public mingling as investigators probed whether the attack was meant to spread fear across the film industry.

  • On Tuesday, Mumbai Police issued a security advisory urging Bollywood actors to avoid public fan gatherings and crowded places following the shooting attack on actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai last month.
  • Three men on a motorcycle allegedly opened fire at Tiger's car in the Juhu area on October 18, with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claiming responsibility on social media to spread fear across the film industry.
  • Investigators revealed attackers surveyed residences of Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and Akshay Kumar before the shooting, targeting celebrities with relatively less stringent security arrangements.
  • During preliminary questioning, the accused revealed they learned about Tiger's security through fan-shared reels; investigators found social media content played a key role in target selection.
  • Reports suggest other Bollywood personalities have received threats allegedly linked to the Bishnoi gang, prompting the advisory as a precautionary measure to prevent further security risks across the film industry.
