Mumbai Police have stepped up security around Salman Khan’s Bandra home, Galaxy Apartments, following new developments in the Tiger Shroff firing case. Reports suggest the superstar may have been the attackers’ original target, though officials have not confirmed that.
What Happened Outside Salman Khan’s Home
Extra police personnel and vehicles now stand guard at Galaxy Apartments, and patrolling has intensified in the surrounding Bandra area. Reports also mention armed officers in bulletproof jackets near the building. Press Trust of India (PTI) shared video of the heavier security presence.
Recap: The Tiger Shroff Firing Incident
The extra security follows a shocking attack on October 18 in Mumbai’s Juhu area. Three assailants on motorcycles opened fire on Tiger Shroff’s car, and seven rounds were reportedly fired. Tiger escaped unharmed, but his driver and a passerby suffered injuries.
Was Salman Khan the Original Target?
Reports citing investigation sources say the accused scouted Galaxy Apartments before attacking Tiger. According to those reports, the group saw Salman as their first target but dropped the idea after finding his security too tough to breach.
That claim remains unverified. The police statement on the arrests did not publicly confirm that Salman was the intended target.
What Police Have Officially Said
DCP (Special Cell) Praveen Tripathi addressed the case after four people were arrested for allegedly supplying weapons. Asked whether the accused had targeted any other celebrity, he said questioning of those four had not produced anything of the kind. He explained that the arrested men were only part of the weapons supply network, and they knew just where to collect the arms and where to deliver them.
Other Celebrity Names in the Reports
Some reports citing investigators say the accused moved around Mumbai posing as ordinary visitors and checked out places linked to several stars. The names mentioned include:
- Amitabh Bachchan
- Akshay Kumar
- Aamir Khan
- Salman Khan
These are media reports based on unnamed sources. Police have not publicly backed them, so treat them with caution.
Why Galaxy Apartments Stays a Security Priority
Salman Khan’s residence has long drawn heavy police attention, and the latest reports have pushed it back into focus. Visible deployments like these aim to deter threats and reassure residents while investigators piece together the full plot.
