The firing on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff by unidentified shooters in Mumbai has sent shockwaves across the country and also put film dignitaries in a spot of bother again as the infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang once again claimed responsibility for this attack.

While the actor had a close shave with death as shooters fled the scene after failing their mission, his driver and an auto rider were seriously injured in this incident. The investigation is currently underway and several teams have been deployed to catch the perpetrators.

A social media post appeared hours after the incident in which two men from the Bishnoi gang stated that they targeted the actor for failing to take their warnings against working with Salman Khan seriously. They also threatened that whoever associates with Salman Khan would face the consequences.

Though the claims of the Bishnoi gang are yet to be corroborated, the attack follows the same pattern just like how they earlier attacked other Bollywood personalities who are closely associated with superstar Salman Khan, who has been their main target since the controversial Black Buck poaching case.

After issuing death threats to Salman for the first time in 2018, the fringe group has repeatedly targeted Salman’s close friends and also those who are professionally involved with him. They have killed Salman’s close friends like Baba Siddique and Siddu Moosewala. Earlier this year, they even attacked director Rohit Sherry’s residence.

The gangster group also targeted other Bollywood celebrities in the name of extortion and demand for money. Now, they have openly admitted to attack Tiger over his affinity with Salman Khan. The incident has once again raised concerns within the film industry.

Interestingly, the gang has been operating both in India and outside despite the fact that the kingpin Lawrence Bishnoi has been in jail for many years over multiple crimes.
