Mumbai: The investigation into the firing incident involving actor Tiger Shroff’s car has uncovered an alleged weapons transportation network spanning Amritsar, Delhi and Mumbai. Investigators suspect that two women, identified as Radha and Babita, were involved in moving firearms linked to the attack.

According to sources cited in media reports, investigators believe the firearms were picked up from a designated spot in Amritsar through a covert drop-off arrangement known as a "dead letter box," which allows items to be exchanged without direct contact.
