New videos have emerged showing the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai’s Juhu area, as police intensify efforts to identify and arrest those responsible.

According to Indian media reports, the incident took place on Sunday evening when the 36-year-old actor was preparing to leave a football ground in his BMW after playing a match.

One of the videos shows two men on a motorcycle approaching the actor’s vehicle and opening fire. At least four shots were reportedly fired at the car.

Another short clip appears to show an attacker attempting to fire from close to the vehicle’s window, but his gun reportedly jammed. However, the footage alone does not establish whether the malfunction prevented a more serious attack.

Shroff escaped serious injury, although his driver, Firdous, and an autorickshaw driver identified as Chauhan were injured in the shooting. Footage recorded after the incident shows the driver getting out of the vehicle as the actor moves towards the driver’s seat.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde later visited Shroff at his residence. Shinde said the actor had sustained burn marks on his right hand from gunpowder. Mumbai Police also confirmed that Shroff had not suffered any serious injuries.

Meanwhile, an image of two suspected attackers has surfaced in Indian media. The photograph, reportedly taken near the scene, shows two men wearing white shirts, one of whom is wearing a black cap bearing the Puma logo. Police are still working to establish their identities.

Investigators have also recovered the motorcycle allegedly used in the attack. The suspects reportedly abandoned it near Andheri railway station before fleeing. Preliminary findings suggest that the motorcycle is registered in Mumbai.

Police are examining its registration details, number plate, chassis and engine numbers. Investigators are also reviewing CCTV footage to trace the suspects’ movements before and after the shooting.

According to preliminary information, three people may have been involved. Two allegedly attempted to fire at the actor’s vehicle, while a third remained on the motorcycle, apparently ready to help them escape. All three reportedly fled on the motorcycle after the incident.

Mumbai Police have formed 15 teams, comprising personnel from the crime branch and local police units, to identify and apprehend those involved. Forensic experts have collected bullet evidence from the scene and examined the vehicle to determine the exact number of rounds fired.

The incident has also raised concerns after a person identified in media reports as Anil Pandit, who allegedly has links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility in a social media post. The claim has not been independently verified.

The post reportedly mentioned Harman Sandhu and issued threats against people in the Mumbai film industry who refuse to follow the group’s demands or work with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.

Following the shooting, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis contacted Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti and Shroff. He directed police to accelerate the investigation and assured the actor that efforts were underway to track down the suspects.

The investigation is continuing as police analyse the available footage and forensic evidence to establish the motive behind the attack and identify those responsible.
