Bishnoi gang operatives targeted multiple celebrities before Juhu shootout

Bollywood star Aamir Khan emerged as the central focus of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang before operatives eventually targeted Tiger Shroff in Juhu. Mumbai Police investigations confirm that suspected shooters spent nearly a month conducting reconnaissance outside the veteran actor's Bandra residence. Detectives discovered that assailants tracked multiple prominent celebrities, including Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Akshay Kumar, before settling on an easier target.

Shifting focus due to tight security measures

Suspects detained during recent sweeps across Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana confessed that their initial strategy involved a strike near Galaxy Apartments. Strict surveillance perimeters forced them to scrap that scheme. Operatives then pivoted their attention to tracking movements at Aamir Khan's home on three separate occasions. Officers learned that his tendency to remain indoors or travel frequently for film schedules made execution impossible. Furthermore, investigators are examining viral social media posts attributed to individuals named Arzoo and Tyson Bishnoi. These audio clips specifically threatened the veteran actor over his recent marriage to Gauri Spratt, using religious rhetoric to justify their planned violence.

Frustrated by completely inaccessible primary targets, the hitmen relied on Instagram reels to map Tiger Shroff's weekend routine at Pushpa Narsee Ground. Sensing an opportunity with limited security protocols, two men on a motorcycle fired up to six rounds at his vehicle on the evening of October 18. While the younger actor escaped without injury, his driver and a nearby bystander sustained wounds. Law enforcement agencies view this entire coordinated campaign, heavily promoted online by US-based suspect Anil Pandit, as a highly calculated effort to spread deep panic throughout the local film industry.
