AICWA demands strict action after Tiger Shroff shooting in Juhu
AICWA says the Mumbai government and police failed to protect film personalities after a bullet hit a by‑stander and Tiger Shroff escaped unharmed.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Mumbai – The All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) on Sunday condemned a shooting incident that left one person wounded and actor Tiger Shroff narrowly escaping serious injury as he left a private event in Juhu around 7 p.m., according to the association’s statement.
What happened
Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohit Garg said unidentified gunmen opened fire on Shroff’s vehicle as it exited the venue. Two people were injured – the actor’s driver and another individual – while Shroff himself was unharmed. The incident occurred in the Juhu area of Mumbai.
What the reports add
The AICWA press release linked the attack to a pattern of violence targeting Bollywood figures, citing earlier incidents such as a firing outside Salman Khan’s Bandra residence, a stabbing at Saif Ali Khan’s home, gunfire at filmmaker Rohit Shetty’s Juhu house and repeated attacks on comedian Kapil Sharma’s café. The association described the situation as reminiscent of the city’s 1990s underworld era.
What was said
“One after another, people from the film industry are being targeted, and a deliberate atmosphere of fear is being created,” the AICWA statement said. “Today it is Tiger Shroff. Who is next? When a celebrity is not safe in the heart of Mumbai, how can an ordinary Mumbaikar feel safe?” The group also urged Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to “take the strictest possible action against the gangsters behind the attacks, arrest the shooters and those who ordered the firing without delay.”
How it came about
The shooting follows a series of high‑profile attacks on Bollywood personalities that AICWA says have exposed gaps in police protection. Earlier coverage by Felo News detailed the same Juhu incident, noting that three men on a motorcycle opened fire near Pushpa Park and that police have released CCTV images of two suspects while probing links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The association’s demand for stronger security reflects ongoing concerns about organized‑crime extortion of film industry figures.
