Tiger Shroff Safe After Firing at His Car in Mumbai’s Juhu; Police Investigate

Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff escaped unharmed after unidentified assailants reportedly opened fire near his car in Mumbai’s Juhu area on Sunday evening, October 18, 2026. Mumbai Police confirmed that the actor had not sustained gunshot injuries, while investigators began examining the circumstances surrounding the incident.

According to reports by The Indian Express and The Times of India, the firing took place near Pushpa Park as Shroff was leaving after a football game. People had reportedly gathered in the area to catch a glimpse of the actor when the incident occurred.

What Happened in Juhu?

Initial media reports said unidentified men arrived on motorcycles and fired at or near Shroff’s vehicle. The precise number of shots varies across early reports, so the figure has not been treated here as definitively established.

Reports also differed on the number of people injured. The Indian Express reported that Shroff’s driver sustained injuries and was taken to Nanavati Hospital. The Times of India reported that an autorickshaw driver was injured as well. These details should be updated if police issue a more complete statement.

The central confirmed point in the available reporting is that Shroff was safe and had not suffered gunshot injuries.

Police Begin Investigation

Mumbai Police are investigating the firing and working to identify those responsible. The case falls under the jurisdiction of Juhu Police Station, according to reports citing police information.

Maharashtra minister Ashish Shelar told The Indian Express that he had spoken with Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti after the incident. The newspaper also reported that Joint Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Manoj Sharma was involved in the investigation.

The identity of the assailants and the motive behind the firing had not been conclusively established in the reporting reviewed for this article.

Has Anyone Claimed Responsibility?

Some media reports have referred to a social-media post or video in which an individual allegedly claimed responsibility on behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. However, the authenticity of such claims and any connection to the shooting must be verified by investigators.

A claim posted online is not, by itself, proof of involvement. Until the police establish the identities of the suspects and verify any alleged gang link, the claim should be treated as unconfirmed rather than a settled explanation for the incident.

The Celebrity Hour Take

The immediate priority is the police investigation and the safety of everyone affected. In developing stories involving violence, early reports can conflict on important details, including injuries, the number of shots fired and the identity or motive of the suspects. Clear attribution and updates from law enforcement are essential to avoid turning unverified claims into established facts.

Sources & Verification

This report draws on published coverage from The Indian Express, The Times of India and other news outlets reporting on October 18, 2026. The actor’s reported safety is consistent across the coverage reviewed. Details concerning injuries, the suspects and any alleged claim of responsibility remain subject to official verification.
