No return of gang wars in Mumbai, warns Eknath Shinde after firing incident involving Tiger Shroff

Mumbai, Oct 18 (UNI) Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde today issued a stern warning saying that the government would not allow a return of the era of gang wars and fear in Mumbai following the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff.
Whether a celebrity or an ordinary Mumbaikar, ensuring the safety of every citizen is the responsibility of the government and police, he said, warning of strict action against those attempting to spread terror or challenge law and order in the city
Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Shinde described the firing incident involving Shroff as highly concerning and condemnable. He said he had discussed the matter with the Mumbai Police Commissioner and that special teams had been formed to trace those involved in the incident.
The accused would be traced at the earliest and dealt with strictly in accordance with the law, he stressed.
Shinde also spoke to Tiger Shroff and his father, veteran actor Jackie Shroff, following the incident and assured them that the government stood firmly behind them.
Recalling Mumbai's history of gang wars in the 1990s, he said the Mumbai Police had successfully brought the situation under control at the time. Any attempt to revive an atmosphere of fear and intimidation in the city would be dealt with firmly, he noted.
Maintaining Mumbai's security and ensuring that citizens safety remain the government's top priorities, Shinde said, adding that neither any gang nor any individual spreading terror would be spared.
He asserted that necessary measures would be taken to ensure the security of celebrities. However, security was not limited to well-known personalities, as every citizen of Mumbai had an equal right to safety.
The government and Mumbai Police would take strict action against anyone attempting to intimidate people through threats, violence or strong-arm tactics, he stated. UNI SP SS
