Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff escaped injury after unidentified gunmen opened fire on his vehicle in Mumbai on Sunday evening, leaving two other people wounded, according to police.
The 36-year-old actor was travelling in a car after leaving a football ground in the city’s Juhu neighbourhood when the shooting occurred.
Videos of the incident showed at least two armed men firing several shots at close range towards the front passenger side of Shroff’s vehicle as it moved slowly through a crowd.
Although the actor was not struck by any bullets, two people, including his driver, sustained injuries during the attack, police confirmed.
Authorities launched an investigation to identify those responsible and establish the motive behind the shooting.
On Monday, police announced that three individuals had been detained in Rajasthan in connection with the incident.
Investigators have not yet disclosed whether the detained individuals were directly involved in the shooting or provided assistance to the attackers.
The incident has caused widespread concern within India’s film industry, with several Bollywood personalities expressing alarm over the actor’s safety.
The shooting also comes against a backdrop of previous armed attacks targeting actors and political figures in Mumbai in recent years.
Police are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack.
