Latest: AICWA demands strictest action; police sources say Pandit and Sandhu under scanner; second video emerges
Mumbai Police said three men on a motorcycle fired at actor Tiger Shroff's car in Juhu around 7 pm on Sunday; he had no bullet injury, while his driver and an autorickshaw driver were hurt. Deputy CM Eknath Shinde said Shroff had gunpowder burns on his right hand and that five rounds were fired. Police detained one person in Santacruz and formed 12 to 15 teams, and have not confirmed a social media post and voice note claiming the attack in the Lawrence Bishnoi gang's name. Police sources say Anil Pandit and Harman Sandhu, named in the claim, are under scrutiny, while opposition leaders and the film body AICWA have faulted the state's law and order and security. Summary updated 19 Oct, 07:41 IST
Why it matters: A shooting at a high-profile target in Mumbai raises questions about law and order and gang activity, and has drawn a political response across parties.
This matter is before the courts or under investigation. Nazariya reports what was said and alleged; it does not decide guilt or the outcome.

Note before this update: Outlets largely report the same facts; they differ on the number of teams, the injured and how much opposition criticism and gang background they include.
“What's missing” before this update:
Based on 60 articles read in full. Scores describe each article's framing, not the outlet and not whether it is accurate.
Large outlets read: 9 of 15 (Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Hindu, India Today, Aaj Tak, Republic, Zee News, Times Now, Dainik Bhaskar).
Outlets largely report the same facts; they differ on rounds fired, team numbers, the injured and how much opposition criticism and gang background they carry.
Why: Law-and-order story built around one politician's criticism of Mumbai security; no religion, social justice or economic-policy framing. Stance is critical because the main voice faults the state government.

Critical, Neutral or Supportive, scored separately. It refers to the Union government unless the story is about a state. On the spectrum strip, each dot is an article: its position is the ideology score and its colour is the stance.
If an article would score differently with the parties' roles reversed, that signal is partisanship. It goes into the stance tag, not the ideology score.
High, Medium or Low, based on how much of the article was read, how many clear signals it has, and whether they agree.
Stories with fewer than five articles are marked. A blindspot is a contested story where we found coverage from only one side.
Articles that touch none of the three dimensions, such as a car launch or a match report, carry no ideology score.
