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.
According to the sources, a man identified as Anil Pandit shared the collection location with Kunal, one of the accused, through an encrypted messaging application. Kunal and another accused, Sumit, reportedly travelled to Amritsar to collect the firearms before arranging their transportation to Mumbai.

The alleged operation involved a payment of approximately Rs 70,000. Of this amount, around Rs 10,000 to Rs 12,000 was reportedly paid to the two women for transporting the weapons.
Police suspect that Kunal enlisted Radha, his alleged girlfriend, to help move the firearms. Radha and Babita reportedly worked at a factory in Sonipat, Haryana. The circumstances surrounding their alleged involvement are part of the ongoing investigation.
The case relates to a firing incident involving Shroff’s car in Mumbai’s Juhu area on October 18. The actor escaped unhurt, while his driver sustained injuries, according to reports.
Three alleged shooters were brought to Mumbai from Kota, Rajasthan, for questioning. Separately, authorities arrested four other suspects, including the two women, in connection with the alleged weapons supply network.
