Mumbai Police advises Bollywood actors to avoid crowded public places
Mumbai Police has advised Bollywood actors to avoid crowded public places and large gatherings and not meet fans in crowded areas.
The warning follows an October shooting attack on Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai; accounts differ on whether Shroff was injured, but his driver and a bystander were reported hurt.
Police arrested three suspected shooters and detained eight others allegedly linked to the plot, according to local media reports.
Police are investigating whether the attack was connected to a criminal gang associated with past attacks on Bollywood figures.
The incident has prompted a wider security reassessment by police and the private teams that protect actors.
Bollywood stars have faced threats, extortion demands and attacks from organised crime groups for decades, and some have police protection based on their assessed risk.
The advisory is a precaution as concerns about the safety of film personalities in Mumbai remain heightened.
