The singer emphasized that no one should have to feel afraid while moving around the city and appealed to the authorities to address the matter seriously.

Tiger escaped the gunfire without any bullet injuries. However, he reportedly suffered minor cuts and irritation on his left arm, shoulder and chest due to gunpowder and fragments of shattered glass. His driver, identified as Firdaus, and an autorickshaw driver were also injured in the incident. Both were taken to nearby hospitals, where their condition was reported to be stable.
