Statement Issued
Tiger Shroff's team has released a strong warning against the spread of fake news and artificial intelligence videos following a recent firing attack on the Bollywood actor's car. The incident took place around 7 pm on October 18 in Mumbai as Tiger was leaving a football club. While the actor escaped without injuries, his driver and a bystander were reportedly hurt when attackers opened fire at his vehicle from close range.
Fake Videos And Warnings
In the new statement, the team clarified that Tiger has not made any public comments or released videos about the incident. The team stated that several digital platforms have been sharing fabricated stories, AI-generated videos, and scripted narratives falsely attributed to the actor. The notice warned that any individual or page creating, promoting, or circulating such fake content will face appropriate legal action.
Police Action
Meanwhile, a Mumbai Police team arrived in Rajasthan to take custody of two men and a minor apprehended for the firing. Deputy Commissioner of Police Raj Tilak Roshan of the Mumbai Crime Branch stated that around 20 special teams were formed after the shooting. Police tracked the motorcycle used in the attack to Andheri West Railway Station through CCTV footage and technical evidence, discovering the suspects later boarded the Pune-Jaipur Express before being nabbed with the help of Kota, Delhi, Gujarat, and Rajasthan police.
Context
