Mumbai Police advises Bollywood actors to avoid crowds, fan interactions after Tiger Shroff firing

Following the firing incident involving Tiger Shroff and revelations of alleged reconnaissance at several celebrities’ homes during the investigation, Mumbai Police has advised prominent Bollywood actors to avoid crowded places and refrain from interacting with fans in public, as a precaution.

In a security advisory issued to the actors, a senior Mumbai Police official said they have been advised to avoid visiting public places and mingling with fans in crowded areas. They have also been urged to stay away from large gatherings.

Several Bollywood actors have reportedly received threats from members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in the recent past. Sources said the advisory was issued as a precautionary step, keeping the safety and security of the actors in mind.

The firing incident involving Tiger Shroff took place on October 18. According to details revealed by the Mumbai Crime Branch, the attack followed repeated reconnaissance of the residences of several Bollywood celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan. The shooters were reportedly instructed to target celebrities whose security arrangements were relatively lax.

During the reconnaissance, different auto-rickshaw drivers had taken the accused to the residences of several celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan.

The preliminary investigation also revealed that the attack on Tiger was meant to spread fear in the industry. The accused reportedly learned from social media reels shared by Tiger’s fans that he did not have police protection at the time, and decided to target him.

Several members of the industry, including Amaal Mallik, Mika Singh, Vidyut Jammwal, Shatrughan Sinha and Ravi Kishan, have raised concerns following the incident.

Soon after, celebrities such as Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan were given heightened security, and precautionary measures were put in place to secure their homes. Days later, Ayushmann Khurrana and Ranveer Singh also reported receiving threats from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
