Tiger Shroff's gunpowder burn marks have surfaced in a video shared by a fan page following the firing incident outside a football ground on October 18. The clip shows small, red, dot-like marks across the actor's arm and was verified by his mother, Ayesha Shroff, who also shared it on her Instagram story.
The video, captioned "God is Kind", has drawn attention to the injuries Tiger sustained during the incident. The appearance of the marks has also prompted questions about the extent of his injuries, particularly after photographs of the actor with a bandaged hand circulated online.
Tiger's mother, Ayesha, also left a comment on the post saying, "God is great." His sister Krishna Shroff also left a few emojis. Tiger's team had previously issued a statement distancing itself from unauthorised communications and warning against the circulation of misleading content.
The firing took place outside a football ground on October 18, when three men arrived on two motorcycles and opened fire at Tiger's car. The actor escaped unhurt, while his driver and a fan were reported to have sustained injuries.
Three alleged shooters were subsequently arrested by Kota Police and handed over to Mumbai Police. Two of the accused are from Haryana, while the third is from Bihar.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang reportedly claimed responsibility for the firing and issued threats involving people associated with actor Salman Khan. The incident prompted heightened security concerns, with Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visiting Tiger and assuring him that security arrangements would be reviewed.
Following the incident, there were reports that the shooters were also scoping Salman, Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar's house. With Akshay and Salman now increasing security around themselves and their houses.
Investigators are also examining possible links between the accused and other cases involving extortion and targeted attacks. Anil Pandit has alleged that a suspect based in the United States was connected to the incident, while the police probe continues to establish the circumstances and motive behind the firing.
The video showing Tiger's gunpowder burn marks has brought renewed attention to the incident, and his mother Ayesha's Instagram story sharing the clip confirms the injury.
