Multiple outlets report that the October 18 shooting incident involving actor Tiger Shroff was linked to a plot that originally focused on actor Aamir Khan. NDTV and others say police investigations and related reports describe reconnaissance around Aamir’s Bandra home before the suspects’ plans shifted to Shroff, who was frequently seen outside and therefore allegedly easier to locate.
Several reports also connect the alleged targeting of Aamir to threats attributed to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Free Press Journal and NDTV say an open threat cited Aamir’s relationship after his third marriage to Gauri Spratt, accusing him of promoting “love jihad” and warning of retaliation; Free Press Journal additionally lists allegations about reconnaissance at the homes of multiple prominent actors before the shift. Times of India adds that police investigate alleged handlers and that the suspects used encrypted messaging for coordination during escape.
Across sources, the core storyline is consistent: Aamir Khan is described as the earlier target, with later attention turning to Tiger Shroff, alongside references to alleged prior threats and gang-linked messaging.
