Bishnoi gang claims attack on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff | The Palki Sharma Show | IGR

Attack on Tiger Shroff

The program reports that three men fired at close range at actor Tiger Shroff’s car as he left a football field in Mumbai. Shroff and his driver were injured. The suspects were arrested in Rajasthan while allegedly trying to flee toward Nepal.

The Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility, reportedly citing Shroff’s association with Salman Khan, with whom the gang has a long-running feud.

The Gang’s International Reach

Presenter Palki Sharma describes the gang as an increasingly transnational criminal threat. The segment says Canada has designated it a terrorist organization and reports that the gang claimed to have 5,000 members there. It links the group to murders, shootings, and arson, and says Canadian authorities have considered its possible role in the 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

In the United States, the segment says the FBI has sought information on gang figure Goldie Brar and offered a $1 million reward. U.S. authorities accuse the group of murder, extortion, and cocaine smuggling. The report also relays concerns that Lawrence Bishnoi may be directing crimes from prison using smuggled cell phones.

Leadership and Reported Cases

Lawrence Bishnoi, described as the gang’s leader, has been imprisoned in Gujarat since 2015. The report associates the gang with the 2022 killing of rapper Sidhu Moose Wala and the 2024 killing of former Maharashtra legislator Baba Siddique. India’s National Investigation Agency investigated both cases.

Feud With Salman Khan

The segment traces the feud with Salman Khan to the late 1990s, when Khan allegedly hunted an antelope considered sacred by the Bishnoi community.

It concludes that addressing the gang’s alleged international operations will require cooperation between India and its partners, including in North America.
