12 teams probe Tiger Shroff attack amid Salman Khan threat

A shooting outside Tiger Shroff’s Juhu home has escalated a long-simmering Bollywood security scare into an open threat against anyone who works with Salman Khan. Mumbai Police are treating the incident as a priority, with twelve specialised teams now tracing the attackers, reviewing CCTV footage and verifying an online claim of responsibility.

What happened in Juhu

On Sunday, shots were fired at actor Tiger Shroff’s vehicle in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Hours later, a social media post attributed to overseas-based operatives Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu claimed the attack on behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi group. The statement said Tiger had been warned earlier but “failed to understand”.

“Whoever in the Mumbai film industry does not listen to us or works with Salman Khan, they will be next,” the statement read.

Mumbai Police have not yet confirmed whether the account is genuinely linked to the syndicate; that verification is part of the investigation.

Why this threat is different

The Salman Khan-Lawrence Bishnoi feud is not new. The community’s anger dates back to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case in Rajasthan, and Lawrence Bishnoi issued his first public death threat against Salman in 2018. What has changed is the scale: 2024 brought the murder of politician Baba Siddique and gunshots at Salman’s Bandra residence. Now the warning has expanded from Salman himself to his professional circle.

That shift matters for the industry because it recasts routine casting and production decisions as safety judgments. Co-stars, producers, directors and even crew members could now weigh the risk before signing a Salman Khan project.

• The statement claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attack on Tiger Shroff’s vehicle.
• It threatened anyone in Mumbai cinema who works with Salman Khan.
• Twelve police teams are analysing CCTV and tracing the shooters.
• The Bishnoi-Salman conflict dates back to 1998 and turned deadly in 2024.

What happens next

For film fans, the immediate watchpoints are official updates from Mumbai Police rather than viral posts. The claim itself is under verification, and rival groups have also been warned against trying to take credit. Until arrests happen, expect tighter security around Salman Khan’s sets and public appearances, and a more cautious mood at industry events.

Total Filmi will follow the case as it develops and as the police statement firms up.
