NEW DELHI, Nov 10 – Indian police have advised prominent Bollywood actors to avoid attending large gatherings, visiting public places and mingling with fans in crowded areas after an actor was shot at in Mumbai last month, local media reported on Tuesday.
Mumbai Police issued the advisory as a precautionary measure due to renewed security concerns surrounding Bollywood stars in the city, the reports said, citing an unnamed senior police officer.
The Mumbai Police Commissioner’s office did not respond to an email from Reuters seeking comment.
Actor Tiger Shroff was shot and injured when three men opened fire on his car as he was leaving a football ground in Mumbai, India’s financial and entertainment capital.
The three suspected shooters were arrested within days and eight others allegedly linked to the conspiracy were detained subsequently, local media reported, citing police.
Police are investigating if the attack was linked to a criminal gang which has been associated with other attacks targeting Bollywood personalities in the past, the reports said.
