Key Questions Answered
Pune Police are on high alert following the attack on actor Tiger Shroff's car due to prior links and active members of the Bishnoi gang being found in Pune, as well as a major incident that occurred 8 months ago involving suspects detained from the city after attacking director Rohit Shetty's house.
Sources indicate that the attackers used a country-made pistol, known as a 'copy piece', to fire a total of seven rounds targeting the front windshield and side window of Tiger Shroff's BMW car. Out of these, five bullets struck the vehicle while two missed, and an attacker attempted to shoot the actor from point-blank range.
After waiting near Pushpa Park for about 45 minutes and carrying out the shooting, the accused fled on a motorcycle towards Andheri West railway station. They subsequently abandoned the motorcycle near a police outpost, which police suspect was done to avoid identification by CCTV cameras.
