All Stars Football Club has suspended Sunday sessions after the firing incident involving Tiger Shroff in Juhu. Founder Bunty Walia said that activities will resume once security protocols are in place.

In Short

• All Stars Football Club cancelled its October 25 practice session
• The authorities will be consulted before the club resumes any organised events
• Tiger Shroff, Ranbir Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan and Kartik Aaryan belong to the club

Following the shocking firing incident targeting actor Tiger Shroff outside a Juhu football ground, the All Stars Football Club has suspended its weekly Sunday practice sessions until further notice. Confirming the decision, club founder and film producer Bunty Walia said that all future sports activities have been put on hold to ensure adequate security arrangements are put in place before resuming events.

Speaking to News18 about the cancellation of the weekly sessions, Walia confirmed the precautionary step. "Yes, for the time being, until we get the security protocols in place," he said, highlighting that the management will seek guidance from authorities to establish necessary safety measures before resuming practice.

The practice session scheduled for October 25 was called off immediately following the attack, raising major safety concerns for the high-profile Hindi film celebrities associated with the venue. The prominent celebrity football club regularly features top stars, including actors Ranbir Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan, and Kartik Aaryan.

The incident took place on October 18 near Pushpa Park in Mumbai’s Juhu locality. Shroff had visited the ground for a football match and was returning home when assailants allegedly opened fire near a crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of the actor. An autorickshaw driver sustained injuries during the firing and was rushed to Cooper Hospital for medical treatment. Following a swift investigation, law enforcement agencies arrested three unidentified accused from Rajasthan's Kota a day after the incident.

As the probe into the alleged Lawrence Bishnoi gang-linked conspiracy widened, the accused shooters conducted a recce of Ranbir Kapoor's Bandra residence, according to an India Today report.

Their attention then turned to Shroff, as they allegedly believed the Baaghi 4 actor would be an easier target because he moved around in public with a smaller security presence.
