Anil Pandit, a resident of Reer Kalan village in Panipat, said he was behind the firing that injured actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai.
On Sunday, a firing incident targeting Bollywood star Tiger Shroff took place in Mumbai, prompting a police investigation into the motive and the assailants involved.
Anil Pandit, who stepped forward to claim responsibility, hails from Reer Kalan village in Panipat, Haryana. Four years ago he left his hometown in search of employment and moved to Dubai.
After his stint in the United Arab Emirates, Pandit reportedly travelled to the United States using a so‑called “donkey route”, a term often used for irregular migration pathways.
Law enforcement agencies are now scrutinising Pandit’s background and any possible links to organized networks, while the precise reason for targeting the actor remains unclear.
The episode has reignited public debate over the security of Indian film personalities and the broader challenges posed by illegal migration routes.
