Who Is Lawrence Bishnoi Gangster with Salman Connection Back in the Limelight After Attack on Tiger Shroff
CONFLICT signal, reported in IN, from outlookindia.com, with negative sentiment. Locations: Uttar Pradesh, India, Delhi.
What Happened
Three rounds of gunfire were reported near actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening, with Shroff escaping unhurt but his driver sustaining a bullet injury to the hand. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the incident, according to news agency PTI. Police are investigating the shooting near Pushpa Park, within Juhu police jurisdiction, and have launched a manhunt for those responsible. A purported video circulating online allegedly shows the firing, though its authenticity is under review. A man claiming ties to the gang reportedly threatened film industry professionals associated with Salman Khan, stating, 'Anyone in the film industry who works separately from us, or works with Salman Khan, we will kill him.' This follows prior threats by the gang, including a 2024 incident where two members were arrested for opening fire outside Khan’s Mumbai home.
Why it matters
The attack underscores the gang’s ongoing threats against Salman Khan’s associates, with the gang claiming Khan was a top target in 2023. Police are investigating whether the incident ties to the gang’s alleged criminal network, which has previously targeted Khan’s film industry connections. The gang’s claim of responsibility raises concerns about escalating violence against Bollywood figures, particularly as Khan’s team faces ongoing pressure from the group. Authorities are conducting a manhunt to identify perpetrators and determine if the shooting was part of a broader campaign.
