A recent investigation by the Mumbai Police has uncovered details regarding the activities of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, suggesting that Bollywood actor Aamir Khan was the primary target of a planned attack. According to police reports, gang operatives conducted surveillance around Khan’s residence in Bandra on three separate occasions over the span of a month.

Sources indicate that the gang eventually abandoned the plan to target Khan due to difficulties in gaining access to his property. Following this, the operatives shifted their focus to actor Tiger Shroff. The investigation highlights a pattern of reconnaissance and target selection by the gang, though the specific nature of the threat against Shroff's vehicle remains a focal point of the ongoing police inquiry. While both NDTV and The Indian Express confirm that Khan was the original target and that security access issues led to the change in plans, the reports differ slightly in their emphasis; NDTV focuses on the duration and frequency of the surveillance, while The Indian Express emphasizes the strategic shift caused by the lack of access to Khan.
