Mumbai : Mumbai Police have issued a fresh security alert to several prominent Bollywood celebrities, asking them to remain vigilant and take extra precautions while making public appearances.
The advisory comes after the October 18 shooting incident in Juhu, where three motorcycle-borne assailants allegedly opened fire at actor Tiger Shroff’s vehicle. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang later claimed responsibility for the attack through an online post. The actor escaped without injuries.
According to police officials, celebrities have been advised to avoid crowded locations and large public gatherings, while exercising caution during interactions with fans, particularly in situations where security arrangements are inadequate.
The warning follows revelations by the Mumbai Crime Branch that suspects allegedly carried out surveillance near the residences of several leading Bollywood personalities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan. Investigators believe the accused were identifying celebrities who had limited police protection.
Police sources further revealed that the attackers allegedly monitored social media reels uploaded by fans to track Tiger Shroff’s movements and assess his security arrangements before carrying out the shooting. The attack was reportedly intended to spread fear within the film industry.
So far, 13 people have been arrested in connection with the case. Amid growing concerns over threats from organised criminal networks targeting high-profile personalities, Mumbai Police have stepped up precautionary measures to strengthen the safety of Bollywood celebrities.
