  • Police upgrade bulletproof shields and patrols at both actors' residences
  • Attackers originally targeted Salman Khan but shifted focus due to security
  • Investigation ongoing as suspects arrested in Rajasthan

Salman Khan, known for his recent work in Bollywood blockbusters, and Akshay Kumar have both seen security measures intensified at their Mumbai residences after a shooting incident involving Tiger Shroff. The heightened vigilance comes as investigators revealed that Salman Khan was initially targeted by the attackers, who later shifted their focus to Tiger Shroff due to the strong security presence at Khan's Bandra home.

According to reports, the accused conducted surveillance of Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartments but were deterred by the existing police arrangements. As a result, they targeted Tiger Shroff, who did not have police security at the time. The attack occurred in Mumbai’s Juhu area when Shroff was returning from a football game. He escaped without serious injuries, while three suspects were apprehended in Kota, Rajasthan, as they attempted to flee.

In response to these developments, Salman Khan’s residence now features upgraded bulletproof glass shields, and additional police personnel and vehicles have been stationed outside. Akshay Kumar, another leading Bollywood actor, has also installed a bulletproof glass shield at his Juhu residence, with police patrols increased in the area. These measures reflect the authorities’ efforts to ensure the safety of high-profile actors following the recent attack.

The police investigation continues, with officials examining the possible involvement of others in the incident. No official statements from the actors or their representatives have been released regarding the security upgrades. The situation remains under close watch as law enforcement works to prevent further threats.
