Gunfire at Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai
Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff escaped unharmed after three unidentified gunmen opened fire on his car in Mumbai's Juhu suburb, injuring his driver, who was taken to Nanavati Hospital. Video footage showed at least two attackers firing several shots at close range before fleeing. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang has reportedly claimed responsibility, and police are investigating. Commentators have since drawn parallels between the attack and Bollywood's long history of gangland extortion and violence targeting its stars.
