A new twist has emerged in the Tiger Shroff firing case, with Lokmat reporting, citing Mumbai Police sources, that the actor may not have been the assailants’ original target. During preliminary interrogation, the accused allegedly revealed that they had travelled to Mumbai to target another prominent person. However, after reportedly struggling to reach their intended target, they allegedly shifted their focus to Tiger Shroff.
The accused reportedly learned through Instagram reels posted by Tiger Shroff’s fans that the actor did not usually have police security around him, making him an easier target. According to sources, the attackers allegedly planned to kill the actor with the intention of spreading fear in Bollywood.
