Alleged Bishnoi Gang Link Under Probe
The incident has drawn attention to an audio message and social media claims in which a man identifying himself as Anil Pandit reportedly claimed responsibility on behalf of individuals linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The speaker allegedly cited Shroff’s professional association with actor Salman Khan as a reason for targeting him.
However, the alleged gang connection and the motive behind the firing remain unverified. Police are investigating all possible angles as they work to identify the attackers and establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.
