Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff escaped unhurt after unidentified assailants opened fire at his car in Mumbai's Juhu area on Sunday evening, triggering a major police investigation. His driver sustained injuries in the incident and was rushed to Nanavati Hospital for treatment.

The firing took place near Pushpa Park when Shroff was returning home after playing a football match. According to preliminary reports, three rounds were fired at the actor's BMW while people had gathered in the area to catch a glimpse of him.

Mumbai Police have constituted 12 teams to identify and apprehend those responsible for the attack. Investigators are examining CCTV footage from the surrounding area and attempting to reconstruct the sequence of events.

A social media post attributed to gangsters Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu reportedly claimed responsibility for the shooting in the name of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. However, police have not authenticated the post or established any connection between the gang and the incident.

The motive behind the firing remains unclear, and investigators have yet to officially identify the attackers.
