Salman Khan was reportedly the original target before the recent firing incident involving Tiger Shroff in Mumbai. According to interrogation reports of alleged Lawrence Bishnoi gang members, the attackers initially planned to target Salman Khan at his Bandra residence. However, they allegedly abandoned this plan due to the heavy security presence around Khan's apartment, which includes commandos and advanced weaponry following previous threats.
Tiger Shroff, known for his action-packed roles and recent box-office successes, became the focus instead. The attackers, as per reports, tracked Shroff's movements through social media and chose to strike when he left a football ground. While Shroff escaped unharmed, his driver and a bystander sustained injuries in the attack. The incident has been linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, with three suspects reportedly arrested in Kota, Rajasthan.
These revelations have intensified concerns about the safety of Bollywood celebrities, especially those who have faced threats in the past. The claim that Salman Khan was the initial target remains unconfirmed, but the heightened security measures around his residence underscore the seriousness of the threat. The incident has also sparked discussions about the vulnerability of public figures and the need for robust protection.
As investigations continue, the focus remains on ensuring the safety of high-profile actors and understanding the motives behind such targeted attacks.
