Salman Khan Under Extra Guard After Gunfire Hits Tiger Shroff’s Car

Heightened security for Salman Khan follows shooting near Tiger Shroff’s vehicle in Juhu

Bollywood star Salman Khan was seen with a thick security detail at Mumbai’s Kalina Airport after a gun‑fire incident injured Tiger Shroff’s driver and prompted police arrests.

On a breezy Tuesday evening, Salman Khan rolled into Mumbai’s Kalina Airport surrounded by an unmistakable convoy of black SUVs and men in bullet‑proof jackets. The actor stepped out in a laid‑back outfit, gave a quick wave to the paparazzi and fans, and was ushered inside the terminal – all under a cloud of heightened security that had been buzzing around his Bandra home for days.

The reason? A shocking firing incident that unfolded a few nights earlier in Juhu, right outside a popular football club. As Tiger Shroff was pulling away in his car, unknown assailants opened fire. Fortunately, the star escaped serious injury, but his driver was hit and suffered cuts from glass shards and gunpowder. The whole episode sent ripples through the Bollywood fraternity, and the police didn’t waste a second.

Within hours, Mumbai’s Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohit Garg confirmed that three suspects were nabbed in Kota, Rajasthan. A local court gave the authorities a 48‑hour transit remand, allowing the Maharashtra police to ferry the accused back to Mumbai for questioning. Investigators are now piecing together the motive behind the attack, while the three men sit in custody awaiting further hearings.

Meanwhile, the state’s leadership stepped in. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde paid a visit to Tiger’s home on Sunday night, assuring the actor and his mother, Ayesha Shroff, that the government would not tolerate any threat to public figures. He highlighted the injuries Tiger sustained to his left hand from the blast and promised swift legal action.

In response to the scare, security around Salman’s residence at the Galaxy Apartments was beefed up dramatically. Uniformed officers with reinforced gear and police vehicles now line the perimeter, a visible reminder that the film industry’s biggest names are not immune to danger.

While the investigation continues, fans and media alike are keeping a close eye on the developments. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about safety for celebrities in the city, especially after a gunfire episode so close to home.

For now, Salman Khan’s airport appearance, his guarded steps, and the ongoing police work form the latest chapter in a story that is still unfolding.
