Unidentified men on motorcycles allegedly opened fire at actor Tiger Shroff's vehicle near Pushpa Park in Mumbai's Juhu area while he was present. While Tiger Shroff remained safe and uninjured, his driver and another individual were reportedly hurt in the attack.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde spoke directly with Tiger Shroff to condemn the attack, calling it a serious and worrisome concern for the state. He warned that any gangs involved would not be spared and assured that the government would protect law and order and provide security to film industry members in need.
