The firing incident took place on October 18 in Mumbai's Juhu neighbourhood, where three motorcycle-borne men allegedly targeted Tiger Shroff's car. Two of them reportedly opened fire, while the third waited on a motorcycle.

The accused fled after one of their guns jammed. They were arrested within 24 hours. Tiger was unharmed in the incident. A few hours after the firing, a social media post purportedly shared by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for the attack.

Investigators reportedly found that the accused had learnt through fan-shared social media reels that Tiger did not have police protection at the time. They allegedly took this into account while selecting him as a target.

Preliminary questioning also suggested that the attack was intended to spread fear across the film industry. A total of 13 people have been arrested in connection with the case so far. The advisory was issued following the Tiger Shroff firing incident and revelations that the accused had reconnoitred other celebrities' homes.
