Investigators reportedly believe the shooters conducted a recce of Khan’s home after arriving in Mumbai. Sources further claimed that the accused tracked Tiger Shroff’s Sunday visits to a football ground in Juhu through fan posts and Instagram pages. They allegedly viewed the actor as a more accessible target because he was believed to have comparatively less security around him.
Salman Khan’s security arrangements were tightened after two gunmen fired shots outside his Galaxy Apartments home in Mumbai’s Bandra neighbourhood in April 2024, after which the actor was provided with Y-plus security cover.
