Tiger Shroff attack: Congress accuses Maha govt of shielding organised crime syndicates
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 19 (IANS) Launching a scathing attack on the MahaYuti government following a high-profile firing incident targeting actor Tiger Shroffs vehicle in Mumbai, the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) President Harshwardhan Sapkal on Monday accused Chief Minister and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis of overseeing a state of complete lawlessness. Demanding immediate accountability, Sapkal questioned how jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi continues to operate an extensive criminal empire from inside Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad without official patronage or political protection. Sapkal asserted that open-daylight attacks on high-profile figures, including actor Tiger Shroff, film producer Rohit Shetty, actor Salman Khan, and the murder of former minister Baba Siddique, prove that criminals no longer fear the police. He pointed out that the Ministry of Home Affairs issued an order under Section 268 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) in August 2023. This order prevents state police forces from transferring Lawrence Bishnoi out of Gujarats Sabarmati Jail for interrogationa legal restriction that is routinely renewed annually. Dismissing Chief Minister Fadnavis's assertions to go after the osses of organised crime, Sapkal challenged the state government to request the Union Home Ministry to revoke Bishnoi's legal immunity and bring him to Mumbai for interrogation and trial. Sapkal alleged that the Mumbai Police forces fear factor is a thing of the past because law enforcement is being used exclusively for extortion and political intimidationciting ongoing police harassment against former Congress MLA Rahul Bondre after he refused to join the ruling BJP. If a famous film actor can be targeted in broad daylight in the heart of Mumbai, what safety remains for the common citizen? How is Lawrence Bishnoi operating his entire syndicate from an Ahmedabad prison? This is simply impossible without the direct blessings of the government, he said. He added that Assam Police can travel to Gujarat or Delhi to arrest opposition politicians, while aero FIRs filed in Bihar can trigger CBI probes in Mumbai. Yet, the Maharashtra government claims to be helpless when it comes to interrogating a gangster sitting in Gujarat. What relation does Bishnoi have with the BJP that he receives such official protection? Instead of issuing hollow threats and rhetorical warnings, Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis must display the courage to extradite Bishnoi to Mumbai, interrogate him, and prosecute him under the law. If this government cannot rein in gangsters, drug lords, and sand mafias, they have no moral right to remain in power and should resign immediately, noted Sapkal. Earlier, Shiv Sena UBT and NCP SP also slammed the BJP-led MahaYuti government over the attack on Tiger Shroff. The opposition's onslaught comes amidst growing public and political concern regarding organised extortion calls and violent threats issued to public representatives and Bollywood personalities alike. With opposition parties uniting against the state's deteriorating law and order situation, pressure is mounting on the MahaYuti government to deliver concrete enforcement actions rather than public warnings.
ED searches 29 premises in six cities in WhatsApp-linked 'pump-and-dump' fraud
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Oct 19 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted searches at 29 premises across six cities in Maharashtra and Gujarat as part of a money-laundering probe into an alleged WhatsApp-driven pump-and-dump scheme involving the shares of two listed companies, an official statement said on Monday. The EDs Mumbai Zonal Office-I carried out the searches on Friday at premises in Mumbai, Nashik (Maharashtra), Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar, Surat, and Bhavnagar (Gujarat) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The investigation relates to alleged manipulation in the shares of R M Drip and Sprinklers Systems Ltd (RMDSSL) and R&B Denims Ltd. The premises searched included the offices of the two companies, residences of their promoters and persons who had been allotted shares at low prices, offices of stockbroking and finance firms, and premises linked to individuals suspected of operating promotional WhatsApp groups. According to ED, its investigation found that between April 2023 and March 2024, the two companies issued more than 3.5 crore shares and convertible warrants to selected individuals and entities. A substantial portion of the money used for these allotments came from a small group of connected persons, firms, and lenders. The agency alleged that the share prices were subsequently pushed up while a large proportion of the shares remained with the same set of holders. From late December 2025 to February 2026, WhatsApp communities with names such as Multibagger Stocks allegedly circulated daily buy recommendations for the shares among retail investors. The ED said the groups operated using SIM cards obtained in the names of other persons in Haryana and Mumbai, while their operations were allegedly run from Bhavnagar. The agency claimed the promotional campaign led to a sharp increase in buyers, trading volumes and share prices. Preferential allottees allegedly took advantage of the increased buying interest to sell part of their holdings to a large number of investors. During the searches, the ED said it identified clusters of family-linked beneficiaries, including entities associated with Affluence Gems, Kawa HUF, and Komalay Consultancy. These beneficiaries had allegedly acquired shares at low prices through preferential warrants. According to the agency, the shares were subsequently promoted through WhatsApp, X, SMS and other channels to generate buying interest. The ED said it has frozen trading accounts worth about Rs 200 crore belonging to the persons and connected entities under investigation. The agency also seized documents, digital devices, share transaction records and property-related papers during the searches. Further investigation is underway.

Ranji Trophy: Mizoram's Chinmay Sutar becomes second Indian batter to hit quadruple ton
Digital Desk | Sovima, Oct 19 (IANS) Mizoram batter Chinmay Sutar on Monday has become only the second Indian batter to score a quadruple century in first-class cricket. Sutar achieved this landmark feat when he struck an unbeaten 400 against Nagaland in a Ranji Trophy Plate group match at the Nagaland Cricket Stadium in Sovima. Playing in just his second first-class game, left-handed Sutar surpassed Prithvi Shaw's 379 to register the second-highest individual score in Ranji Trophy history. Only Bhausaheb Nimbalkar's unbeaten 443 for Maharashtra against Kathiawar in Pune in 1948/49 stands ahead of Sutar's effort in the competition's record books. Sutar, who was on 392 at tea break, reached the 400-run landmark in the 155th over, after which Mizoram declared at 581/9. In all, he faced 517 balls and hit 46 fours and seven sixes. He was on 231 when the last man, Lalrempuia Chhakchhuak, walked out, and the pair went on to add an unbroken 190 for the tenth wicket. Mizoram, who had ended the opening day on 331/5, slipped to 391/9 on day two before Sutar and Lalrempuia took the game away from Nagaland. Its also a record for the third-highest last-wicket stand in Ranji Trophy history, 43 runs short of the record 233 put on by Ajay Sharma and Maninder Singh for Delhi against Mumbai in 1991/92. Sutar became only the tenth batter to score 400 or more in a first-class innings, joining a list that includes batting greats such as Brian Lara and Don Bradman. Lara holds the record for the highest first-class score with his unbeaten 501 for Warwickshire against Durham in 1994, and also made 400 not out for the West Indies against England in a Test match in 2004. Pakistan's Hanif Mohammed fell one short of 500, and made 499 for Karachi against Bahawalpur in 1959. Sutar had made his Ranji debut for Mizoram in last week's season opener against Manipur after securing a no-objection certificate from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). He scored 35 and 99, being run out one short of a hundred in the second innings, as Mizoram fought back from a 68-run first-innings deficit before losing narrowly by three wickets. Sutar had represented Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy in the previous domestic season on the back of strong performances in Mumbai's local leagues. In June, he helped MSC Maratha Royals defend their Mumbai T20 League title and hit back-to-back half-centuries. He finished the season with 212 runs from six innings at a strike rate of nearly 120.

Aamir Khan meets Raj Thackeray as Imran Khan challenges leave India notice in Bombay High Court
Aamir Khan met Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray at his residence on Sunday, October 18, amid the ongoing legal battle involving Aamirs nephew, actor Imran Khan, over a Leave India Notice directing him to leave the country by October 28. The purpose of the meeting was not immediately known. Aamir and Raj have shared friendly relations over the years and have attended family functions hosted by each other. However, the actors latest visit comes at a time when Imran is challenging a notice issued by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO) on October 14. The matter is scheduled to come up for a hearing on Monday, October 19. The notice reportedly alleges a violation of the Immigration and Foreigners Act, 2025, in connection with Imrans participation in a protest held in Mumbai on October 10. The demonstration called for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations of irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise being conducted across the country. Following the notice, Imran approached the Bombay High Court on Saturday, seeking its cancellation. The 44-year-old actor challenged the directive in his petition, describing it as unconstitutional and requesting that the court quash the notice. He also sought an immediate stay on the directive while the court considers his plea. Additionally, Imran requested protection from coercive measures, including deportation, the issuance of a Look Out Circular (LOC), blacklisting and any action that could affect his Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status. In his petition, the actor alleged that the notice had been issued through a non-bonafide exercise of power. He further described the action as a high-handed and grossly disproportionate abuse of power. The legal proceedings are currently underway as Imran seeks relief from the directive requiring him to leave India by October 28. The outcome of his plea before the Bombay High Court remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Aamirs meeting with Raj Thackeray has drawn attention amid the developments surrounding his nephews case, although no official reason for the visit has been disclosed.

Tiger Shroff shooting suspects arrested: What the alleged Bishnoi gang threat to Salman Khan says
Highlights Three suspects have been arrested in Rajasthan over the firing at Tiger Shroffs car in Mumbai. A social media post claiming responsibility for the attack warned that people working with Salman Khan could be targeted. A separate audio message reportedly threatened Khan and his family, with police investigating the claims and the alleged gang connection. Three men suspected of opening fire at Tiger Shroff s car in Mumbai have been arrested in Rajasthan, following an attack that has raised fresh concerns about threats against Bollywood personalities associated with Salman Khan. The suspects were apprehended at Kota railway station on Monday (October 19) while travelling by train from Mumbai towards Delhi. Police are investigating their alleged roles in the shooting and whether they have links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The firing took place in Mumbais Juhu area on Sunday evening (October 18), as Shroff was leaving a football ground. The actor escaped serious injury, but his driver and another driver travelling in an autorickshaw were injured. What did the alleged Bishnoi gang message say? A social media post attributed to individuals identified as Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu claimed responsibility for the shooting. The message alleged that Shroff had ignored warnings about working with Salman Khan and threatened further action against people in the film industry who continued to associate with the actor. The post warned that others who failed to heed the alleged groups demands could also be targeted. However, the claim of responsibility does not establish who ordered the attack or whether the alleged gang directed the suspects. A separate audio message attributed to Pandit reportedly threatened Khan and his family, demanding that the actor apologise to Lawrence Bishnoi and the Bishnoi community. The speaker also warned Khan against relying on his security arrangements. Police are examining the messages and investigating the alleged links between the suspects and the criminal network. The motive behind the shooting has not been conclusively established. Why has Salman Khan faced threats linked to Lawrence Bishnoi? The latest threats come amid a long-running dispute between Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi, who has repeatedly been linked to threats against the actor. The hostility has been associated with the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Bishnoi has cited the animals religious significance to the Bishnoi community in connection with his anger towards Khan. In April 2024, gunmen opened fire outside Khans residence in Mumbais Bandra area. The actor was unharmed, and the subsequent investigation led to arrests and scrutiny of suspected links to the Bishnoi network. Former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was murdered in Mumbai in October 2024, with a social media post attributed to the Bishnoi gang claiming responsibility. Investigators examined alleged links to the network as part of the case. The firing at filmmaker Rohit Shettys Juhu residence in February 2026 also brought renewed attention to threats against prominent figures in the entertainment industry. Reports linked a subsequent claim of responsibility to individuals associated with the Bishnoi network, although the circumstances of each incident require separate investigation. What happens next in the Tiger Shroff case? Mumbai Police had formed 15 teams to trace the attackers following the shooting. Investigators examined CCTV footage, gathered forensic evidence and tracked the suspected escape route. The three arrests in Kota mark a significant development, but investigators must still establish the suspects individual roles, identify anyone else involved and verify the alleged gang connection. The incident has also prompted renewed scrutiny of security arrangements for Bollywood personalities, particularly Salman Khan, who has faced repeated threats in recent years. The investigation remains ongoing, and police have yet to establish conclusively whether the alleged Bishnoi gang ordered the attack on Shroff.

Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Oct 19 (IANS) Expressing gratitude to God for the safety of Bollywood star Tiger Shroff, who narrowly escaped an attempt on his life on Sunday, Telugu actor and producer Vishnu Manchu has now said that no one should have to fear for their safety while going about their work or living their life. Taking to his X timeline to express his thoughts on the dastardly attack on the young actor by three assailants, the Telugu actor said, Grateful to God that @iTIGERSHROFF is safe.

Incidents like these affect not only the person involved, but their family and the entire film fraternity. Vishnu Manchu went on to add, Being in the public eye should never mean living in fear. I hope there is some kind of respite. Har Har Mahadev. Actress Divya Spandana too reacted strongly to the news on the attempt made on the Bollywood actor's life. She wrote, Relieved Tiger is safe, and wishing a quick recovery to his driver and the autorickshaw driver who were hurt. The actress further said, 7pm, a busy road, no masks, and the shooters are so young! They aren't afraid of being caught because they're disposable. The people giving the orders face no risk at all. We've seen this before in Juhu, again and again. Each time the shooters are arrested and the network carries on. Divya posed two questions in the wake of the incident. She said,Two questions need answers-how are gangs still operating from inside jails, and why are so many young men with no prospects willing to pick up a gun for a small fee and a few minutes of fame online? Until we fix both, we're only treating the symptom. Bollywood is mum. So much fear and panic.

Ramdas Athawale condemns attack on Tiger Shroff, says such incidents in Mumbai 'not right'
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 19 (IANS) Union Minister Ramdas Athawale on Monday condemned the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai, describing such attacks as completely unacceptable and urging people not to politicise the matter. Speaking to IANS, Athawale said Shroff, son of actor Jackie Shroff, was an actor and athlete who had gone to play football when three unidentified persons allegedly opened fire at his vehicle. He said the actor escaped unhurt, while his caretaker and driver sustained injuries. Tiger Shroff, who is Jackie Shroff's son, is an actor and an athlete. When they went to play football, three unidentified people came and fired at their vehicle. Nothing happened to him, though the driver sustained injuries but was not seriously hurt. However, this is not a good thing. I feel that such attacks happening in Mumbai are not right, Athawale said. He added that Maharashtra Chief Minister had issued instructions to apprehend those responsible and expressed confidence that the accused would be arrested. The commitment of our government is to ensure that those who carried out this attack are caught. There is no need to politicise this issue, he said. Athawale further said that members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang were behind such incidents and claimed that the attack was linked to Shroff's association with films featuring actor Salman Khan. The Bishnoi gang is constantly carrying out such attacks. Although Bishnoi is inside, his associates attacked him because he works in Salman Khan's films. I feel this is not right. Salman Khan is a big actor and has given work to many people. Carrying out such attacks in this manner is completely wrong, he added. Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav also condemned the incident, calling it extremely unfortunate and a matter of concern. He said the criminals involved must be apprehended and strict action taken against them. Yesterday, Tiger Shroff, a well-known Bollywood actor, was shot at, but he narrowly escaped unharmed.

The criminals involved must be apprehended, and the government must ensure strict action against those responsible for the attack. The government will also make efforts to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future, he said. BJP leader Ram Kadam said, The attack on talented actor Tiger Shroff is highly condemnable. The Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, immediately spoke to the Mumbai Police Commissioner. The attackers should be caught immediately. What was the reason behind the attack? Who are the masterminds behind threatening and terrifying actors? All these things will be investigated by the Mumbai Police. We will not tolerate this kind of attack. Whatever criminal elements are involved will be behind bars. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde himself immediately met Tiger Shroff on behalf of the government. Congress leader Riyaz also condemned the attack, stressing the need to maintain peace and harmony and ensure security for people associated with the film industry. Bollywood is a symbol of great events, achievements and powerful messages. But now, Bollywood is under threat. The present Maharashtra government must take responsibility for this unwanted incident. Every actor and actress should receive protection and security and be able to carry out their professional activities without fear, he said. Meanwhile, Mumbai's Juhu Police have registered a case against three unidentified persons in connection with the firing incident involving Shroff. His caretaker and driver, Firdos Ibrahim Baloch, sustained injuries in the incident. The FIR has been registered under Sections 109(1) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), along with relevant provisions of the Arms Act. Police are investigating the incident to identify and apprehend the assailants and establish the roles of others suspected of involvement.

Dismissing the perpetrators as cowards hiding behind remote communication networks, the Chief Minister asserted that the Mumbai Police will completely dismantle the international tentacles of these criminal gangs. Emphasising the professional calibre of the city's law enforcement, CM Fadnavis stated that no one will be permitted to openly challenge the Mumbai Police or threaten public safety. Labelling the culprits as cowardly proxies who operate from hidden locations, he declared that their plots will be thoroughly neutralised. Acknowledging that the threats originate from outside Maharashtra and beyond national borders, CM Fadnavis confirmed that the state machinery is actively coordinating with central intelligence agencies to root out the entire network. The police will find the accused, and their masterminds have also been found. Therefore, I can say with certainty that such incidents will not be tolerated. The Mumbai Police will definitely track down the accused. No one can openly challenge the police, said CM Fadnavis. These are cowardly people. They hide somewhere and boast from there. They don't have the courage. These are kind of hired people, and those who operate based on them, CM Fadnavis said. The challenge the police definitely face in this is that they do not operate from Maharashtra; they operate from outside the country. By contacting the Central government agencies, the Mumbai Police will annihilate these gangs operating from outside Maharashtra and the country, he added. He noted that the police have already mapped crucial trails and identified key operatives linked to the assault. CM Fadnavis said that public safety -- for both celebrities and ordinary citizens -- remains its paramount priority.

Earlier, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde stated that the attack on actor Tiger Shroff was extremely unfortunate, and he fortunately survived it. He mentioned that following the attack, Shroff's entire family is currently in a state of terror and anxiety, prompting him to personally visit them to check on his health. The Deputy CM noted that despite having no disputes or quarrels with anyone, such a life-threatening attack on a young actor has left the Shroff family, especially his mother, Ayesha Shroff, under severe mental stress. Following the incident, Mumbai Police have taken serious cognisance of the matter, with the Police Commissioner forming a special team to track down the culprits. Deputy CM Shinde, who visited the Tiger Shroff at his residence and inquired about his health, stated that these criminals will be apprehended immediately and strict action will be taken against them. Additionally, he mentioned that instructions have been given to the Mumbai Police Commissioner to review the security of all artists and actors in the film industry. Addressing recent incidents of celebrities being threatened by the Bishnoi gang or other gangs, Shinde asserted, The terror of any gang or attempts to threaten celebrities in Mumbai or Maharashtra will not be tolerated. Anyone attempting to do so will be given a fitting reply by the police, he said. Recalling how the police completely crushed Mumbai's gang wars through strict action in the 1990s, Dy CM Shinde warned that anyone attempting to create terror through similar bullying today will not be spared. The security of ordinary citizens and celebrities is the top priority of the government. Artists in the film industry have no reason to panic following such incidents, said Dy CM Shinde. He appealed to people that anyone receiving threat calls or messages from such gangs should immediately contact the Mumbai Police, assuring that the government stands firmly behind the artists.
