Tiger Shroff shooting in Mumbai’s Juhu area has triggered a major police investigation after unidentified assailants opened fire at a car carrying the Bollywood actor on Sunday evening, October 18, 2026. The actor survived the incident, while his driver and another person sustained injuries. Mumbai Police have registered an attempted murder case and launched efforts to identify those responsible.
The shooting reportedly occurred around 7 PM near Pushpa Park, after Shroff had finished playing football and was preparing to leave. According to police, three men arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire at his vehicle before fleeing.
The incident prompted a security response in the area, with forensic teams examining the scene and investigators reviewing available evidence.
What Happened During the Shooting?
Shroff was leaving the venue in his car when the attackers allegedly approached on a motorcycle and fired several rounds.
Reports differ on the exact number of shots fired, with some accounts citing three or four rounds and others reporting a higher number. Police are examining the evidence to establish the precise sequence of events.
Shroff was initially reported to have escaped without any gunshot wounds. Later reports indicated that he may have sustained minor injuries from gunpowder. His condition and the circumstances of any such injuries should be distinguished from the confirmed gunshot injuries suffered by other people.
Two People Injured, Police Launch Investigation
The shooting left two people injured, according to police updates. The actor’s driver suffered a gunshot wound, while another person in the vicinity was also injured. Both were taken for medical treatment.
Mumbai Police registered a case against three unidentified individuals and transferred the investigation to the Mumbai Crime Branch because of the seriousness of the incident.
Investigators are examining forensic evidence and other available material to identify the shooters and determine their motive. Police have also formed multiple teams to trace those involved.
Suspected Gang Connection Under Investigation
The incident has drawn attention to a possible connection with organised criminal groups after a social media post attributed to the Lawrence Bishnoi group claimed responsibility for the attack.
However, the claim has not been independently verified, and investigators have not established the motive behind the shooting. Police are examining all possible angles rather than treating the online claim as confirmed evidence.
The case has also renewed concerns about threats against members of the film industry and the security arrangements provided to public figures.
Political Leaders React to the Incident
Maharashtra minister Ashish Shelar confirmed that Shroff was safe and said he had spoken with Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti about the incident.
Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also contacted the actor and his family to enquire about his well-being. He condemned the attack and said the authorities would take action against those responsible.
The incident also prompted criticism from opposition leaders, who raised questions about law and order in Mumbai and the safety of public figures.
What Happens Next?
The Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating the shooting, including the identity of the attackers, their possible motive and any connection with organised criminal groups.
Police are examining forensic evidence and available video footage as part of the investigation. Reports indicate that suspects have been detained for questioning, although their involvement must be established through the investigation.
Authorities have not yet publicly established the motive for the attack. Further official updates are expected as investigators verify the evidence and pursue those responsible.
The case remains under investigation, and any claims about the people behind the shooting should be treated cautiously until confirmed by law enforcement.
