Tiger Shroff’s team posts burn-mark video after attack doubts

Four days after gunmen opened fire at Tiger Shroff’s car outside a football ground, his team has posted a short Instagram video that may finally settle a very online fight. The clip, captioned “God is Kind,” shows small, red, dot-like marks across the actor’s arm — what the team is presenting as gunpowder burns from the October 18 attack.

The post lands after days of whiplash for fans. First came photos of a heavily bandaged arm. Then came images that appeared to show unmarked skin, which trolls used to call the injury fake. Team Tiger’s response is not a long note; it is a close-up.

Why a short video matters here

Gunpowder burns can look minor even when a shooting is serious. A bullet does not have to strike the body for burning powder or residue to leave small red marks, which may fade or remain hidden under clothing in older photos. That gap between “unhurt” and “injured” is exactly where misinformation has spread.

Team Tiger had already pushed back against the noise before this clip. In a statement, it said several pages were spreading “fabricated stories” and “AI-generated videos and scripted narratives” that were falsely attributed to the actor. The team called the posts “completely false, unauthorised and intended to mislead the public” and warned that legal remedies were on the table.

What we know about the attack

• The incident: Three men on two motorcycles opened fire at Shroff’s car; the actor was not hit by bullets, while his driver and a fan were injured.
• The arrests: Police in Kota picked up three shooters — two from Haryana and one from Bihar — and handed them over to Mumbai Police.
• The gang claim: The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has said it carried out the shooting and issued fresh threats against people working with Salman Khan.
• The official response: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde met the actor and promised a security review for high-profile film personalities.

The investigation is still moving

Police are now probing the role of Anil Pandit, an alleged gangster said to operate from the United States. Investigators are looking at his suspected links to more than a dozen extortion cases and targeted attacks in Delhi and Haryana.

What fans should do next

Team Tiger has asked the public to rely only on verified updates from official channels. In a case involving multiple agencies, that means waiting for the Mumbai Police or the actor’s verified team before sharing the next viral image. It is also worth reporting any post that uses the actor’s name to push a scripted narrative.

That is particularly important because AI-made clips are getting easier to produce and harder to spot at a glance. A convincing-looking video is no longer proof that a statement came from the actor.
