Mumbai Police investigating the security threats against Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff have uncovered a startling motive behind the plot. According to investigators arrested suspects belonging to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang revealed that the actor was targeted because of a past public comment he made in 2022 praising superstar Salman Khan.
During questioning, shooters arrested in connection with the case stated that the gang harbored deep resentment due to Shroff remarks calling Salman Khan the only tiger in Bollywood and his professional associations within the film industry. Security agencies noted that the syndicate has been closely monitoring Bollywood celebrities who maintain ties with Khan using intimidation tactics to create widespread fear.
Police investigations further revealed that while the syndicate initially kept high profile targets under surveillance they shifted focus toward more accessible individuals to send a chilling message to the wider film fraternity. Following these revelations security has been significantly heightened across key areas in Mumbai and law enforcement teams are continuing their crackdown to dismantle the remaining network members involved in the conspiracy.
