The firing took place around 350 metres from Juhu police station and Pushpa Park. Shroff’s driver, Firdosh, sustained a bullet injury to his left hand and was taken to Nanavati Hospital.Tiger has never publicly expressed his opinions regarding Dipke or his CJP.Police are examining a social media post in which Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu purportedly took responsibility for the attack.The duo allegedly claimed that Shroff was targeted because of his association with Salman Khan or his work with the actor. The post also issued threats to others in Mumbai’s film industry who had worked with Khan. While rumours linked Pandit to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, police had yet to verify the authenticity of the post.
