In this case, the first photograph of the alleged attackers is reported to have surfaced. In the picture, two suspects are seen wearing white shirts, while one of them is also wearing a cap. The police have not yet made public the identities of both. At the same time, a post related to Lawrence Bishnoi gang on social media has claimed responsibility for the attack.

According to media reports, two people are visible in the picture. Both of them are wearing white shirts and a cap is visible on the head of one of them. The police are trying to identify these suspects and trace their activities.
At present it is not clear whether the people seen in the picture were involved in the firing or not. The situation regarding his role will be clear only after police investigation.
After the firing incident, a post went viral on social media, in which Lawrence Bishnoi claimed to be associated with the gang and claimed responsibility for the attack. However, claiming responsibility in a post is not in itself proof of involvement in the attack.
Police are investigating the authenticity of the post and possible gang connections. At present, the final conclusion regarding the identity of the suspects and the reason behind the attack has not been revealed.
Mumbai Police has formed several teams to search for the accused. The investigating officers are scanning the footage of CCTV cameras installed in and around the incident site so that clues related to the movement of the suspects and the incident can be found.
Apart from this, the forensic team has collected evidence from the spot. Police are also trying to find out how many rounds were actually fired during the firing. According to officials, a detailed investigation is being conducted to understand the entire sequence of the incident and reach out to the people involved.
According to the police, an FIR has been registered in this case under Section 109(1), i.e. attempt to murder, and Section 3(5), i.e. offense committed with common intention, of the Indian Justice Code (BNS), 2023.
A police officer quoted by news agency PTI said that Tiger Shroff remained safe in the firing and was not injured. However, his driver Firdaus and an auto driver, identified as Chavan, were injured. Both were taken to the hospital for treatment.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis talked to Mumbai Police Commissioner and got information about the incident. He directed the officials to arrest the accused and ensure action against the culprits.
Fadnavis spoke to Tiger Shroff on phone and assured him of all possible assistance from the government. He told the actor that the police was trying to reach the accused soon and he need not worry.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also reached Tiger Shroff's house to meet him. He assured the actor and his family that the state government is with them and incidents of threats or intimidation will not be tolerated in Mumbai.
Referring to the gang war of the 1990s in Mumbai, Shinde said that the police had controlled such activities during that period. He said that strict action would be taken against attempts to intimidate people and action would be taken to end such hooliganism.
At present, the priority of the police is to identify the suspects and arrest them and find out the real reason behind the firing.
