Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff was recently targeted in a firing incident in Mumbai while leaving a ground after a football session. Following the incident, an audio message reportedly circulated by Anil Pandit, who is said to be an associate of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, surfaced online. In the audio message, the speaker claimed that he and Harman Sandhu were responsible for the shooting and alleged that Tiger had been warned previously. The message also gave a strict warning to the Mumbai entertainment industry, threatening that whoever works with Salman Khan will face similar consequences.

Amid the attack, Salman Khan was spotted at the Mumbai airport on Tuesday, beefed up with heavier-than-usual security. Special Protection Unit (SPU) officers carrying firearms were present, along with the superstar's trusted bodyguard, Shera. The actor did not stop to pose for the paparazzi but simply nodded at them before heading inside the airport.

Salman was dressed in a dark navy blue button-down shirt with rolled-up sleeves, dark denim jeans, black boots, and aviator sunglasses. The actor stepped out of his car, flanked by officers equipped with automatic weapons.

The heightened security comes after Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ekanth Shinde recently assured that security arrangements for members of the film fraternity would be reviewed. Shinde made the assurance after a meeting with Tiger Shroff at his residence. Meanwhile, police have detained three individuals so far in connection with the attack on the actor. Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu claimed responsibility for the attack in an X post and issued fresh threats against those working with Salman Khan.
