The investigation into the recent shooting incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff has taken a major turn, with reports suggesting that actor Aamir Khan was allegedly the original target. According to media reports citing police sources, the suspected attackers changed their plans after finding it difficult to approach Khan.
The development has raised fresh concerns about the safety of Bollywood celebrities as Mumbai Police continue to investigate the alleged conspiracy and the people suspected of helping the attackers.
Aamir Khan Was Reportedly Under Surveillance
According to reports, the suspected shooters spent several weeks in Mumbai and visited the area around Aamir Khan’s residence multiple times. Investigators believe they were trying to monitor the actor’s movements and find an opportunity to approach him.
However, the alleged attackers reportedly struggled to find a suitable opportunity. Khan was said to be away for film shoots at times or staying at home for extended periods.
Police sources cited in media reports suggested that the suspected attackers eventually decided to change their target. These claims are part of the ongoing investigation and have not been independently established in court.
Why Did the Suspects Turn to Tiger Shroff?
After allegedly failing to approach Aamir Khan, the suspects reportedly shifted their attention to Tiger Shroff.
According to reports, Shroff regularly visited a ground in Mumbai’s Juhu area to play football. Investigators suspect that his routine may have made it easier for the alleged attackers to track his movements.
On October 18, gunmen allegedly opened fire at Shroff’s car near the ground. The actor escaped without serious injury, but his driver was reportedly injured in the incident.
The shooting prompted a major police investigation into the attackers, their possible associates and the motive behind the alleged plan.
Possible Link to Earlier Threats
Investigators are also examining whether the alleged plan involving Aamir Khan could be connected to threats reportedly made against him earlier this year.
According to media reports, a person claiming links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang had allegedly issued threats against the actor. The messages reportedly referred to his personal life.
Police are investigating whether those threats had any connection with the shooting case involving Tiger Shroff. However, the alleged link remains under investigation, and the claims should not be treated as proven facts.
Police Investigate Suspected Network
The investigation has expanded beyond the people accused of carrying out the shooting. Police are also examining whether other individuals provided instructions, weapons, transport or other support.
Reports suggest that the suspects may have received information through online messaging services during the operation and while attempting to escape. Investigators are looking into their communications and movements to understand how the alleged plan was organised.
Several people have reportedly been detained or arrested in connection with the case, while authorities continue to investigate the possible roles of other suspects.
Bollywood Security Concerns Grow
The latest developments have increased concerns about the security of prominent Bollywood personalities. The reported targeting of multiple actors has drawn attention to the risks celebrities may face from organised criminal networks.
For now, the investigation remains ongoing. Police are working to establish the motive, identify everyone involved and determine whether the alleged plan against Aamir Khan was connected to the attack on Tiger Shroff.
Until investigators establish the facts, the claims about the original target and the wider conspiracy remain allegations rather than confirmed conclusions.
