Actor Tiger Shroff was attacked while returning after playing football at a court in Juhu. Now, visuals of the unfortunate incident have surfaced online, and reports indicate that the actor may have narrowly escaped being shot at point-blank range.
The Free Press Journal (FPJ) reported, citing sources familiar with the situation, that the attackers used a country-made pistol, also known as a ‘copy piece’, to carry out the attack on actor and Jackie Shroff’s son, Tiger Shroff. Reportedly, seven rounds were fired at the actor’s BMW sedan while he was leaving the ground, of which five struck the vehicle while two missed. The assailants allegedly waited for around 45 minutes before opening fire at approximately 7pm on Sunday.
It was further claimed that when one of the two attackers moved towards the vehicle and attempted to shoot Tiger from closer range, his weapon jammed, which fortunately worked in Tiger’s favour, allowing him to narrowly escape a deadly attack.
The attacker tried to shoot at Tiger directly from close range twice, but after the weapon failed, he fled the scene with the other two. They allegedly abandoned the motorcycle they were riding near a police beat chowky. They are suspected to have later moved towards Surat, sources said.
