The investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff has taken a significant turn, with reports suggesting that the actor may have been the attackers’ primary target. Although earlier reports claimed that several prominent Bollywood celebrities were also under threat, sources cited in media reports now indicate that the accused may have carried out reconnaissance specifically to gather information about Tiger.

According to these reports, the suspects allegedly visited the homes of several well-known actors while posing as tourists or fans. Their movements reportedly included visits to celebrity residences, Tiger’s gym and the football ground he frequented. Investigators are examining whether these visits were part of a planned operation intended to conceal their actual objective.

Tiger Shroff Was Allegedly the Main Target

Earlier reports had raised concerns about the possible targeting of celebrities such as Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan. There were also reports that the suspects had conducted reconnaissance near Ranbir Kapoor’s residence.

However, sources cited in the latest reports suggest that Tiger Shroff was the principal target. The alleged reconnaissance reportedly focused on locations the actor regularly visited, including his residence, gym and football ground.

These claims remain part of an ongoing investigation, and the final conclusions will depend on evidence gathered by the police.

Why Did the Suspects Allegedly Use Auto-Rickshaws?

According to the reports, the accused allegedly travelled around Mumbai in auto-rickshaws while visiting celebrity residences. They reportedly presented their journeys as sightseeing trips, asking drivers to take them to the homes of popular film stars.

Using auto-rickshaws may have helped them move through different neighbourhoods without immediately attracting attention. Local drivers also tend to be familiar with the city’s streets and prominent landmarks, making them a convenient source of local information for ordinary tourists.

Investigators are reportedly examining the suspects’ movements and interactions to establish how their alleged reconnaissance was conducted.

Several Bollywood Stars’ Residences Reportedly Visited

The suspects allegedly visited areas associated with several prominent actors, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan.

According to the reports, these visits may have been intended to make their movements appear routine rather than suspicious. The investigation is looking into whether the celebrity visits were a deliberate attempt to conceal a more specific plan involving Tiger Shroff.

The reported visits do not, by themselves, establish that every actor whose residence was visited was a target.

Mumbai Crime Branch Examines the Accused

The case is being investigated by the Mumbai Crime Branch. According to sources, the accused have allegedly given changing statements, prompting investigators to question them separately and then compare their accounts during joint questioning.

Reports also indicate that one suspect, identified as Ankit, travelled to Mumbai and stayed there for an extended period. He was allegedly involved in reconnaissance on more than one occasion. Investigators are reportedly examining whether he visited Tiger’s football ground with another accused.

The police will need to establish the individual roles of the suspects and corroborate their statements with other evidence.

Was the Attack Carefully Planned?

Reports citing the investigation suggest that the accused may have studied Tiger Shroff’s movements and the locations he regularly visited before the incident. Investigators are examining allegations that the suspects had considered the actor’s vehicle movements and the surrounding area as part of their plan.

The precise sequence of events, the roles played by each accused and the alleged motive remain matters for investigators to establish. Claims about the planning of the attack should therefore be treated as allegations rather than proven findings.

What Happens Next in the Investigation?

The focus of the Mumbai Crime Branch is to establish who was involved, whether the incident was part of a wider conspiracy and whether other individuals played a role. Investigators will also need to determine whether the reported visits to other celebrities’ residences were intended to divert attention or were connected to any separate threat.

For now, reports suggest that Tiger Shroff may have been the main target, but the investigation remains ongoing. Further verified findings from the police will be important in establishing the complete picture of the case.
