Tiger Shroff attacked: Four more people, including two women, arrested

Shifting our focus to India, four more individuals, including two women, have been arrested for their alleged involvement in the October 18 shooting incident targeting actor Tiger Shroff's vehicle in Mumbai. The suspects have been identified as 21-year-old Kunal and 19-year-old Sumit, both from Haryana, along with Radha and Papita, both 23 years old and from Uttar Pradesh. According to investigators, the four were apprehended for allegedly transporting a firearm and ammunition to Mumbai ahead of the attack. Police say that the accused operated under the instructions of Anil Pandit, who allegedly coordinated their movements using an encrypted messaging app. The police have released a sequence of events, according to which Kunal, who had recently been released from jail on bail, was introduced to Anil Pandit by a friend, and they subsequently began communicating with him through an encrypted application. On Anil Pandit's instruction, he allegedly collected a pistol and 20 rounds of ammunition from Amritsar. Amritsar. Around two months ago, Kunal allegedly met Radha, informing her about his activities and persuaded her to travel to Mumbai with the weapon. On October 15th, Kunal took Radha and Babita to New Delhi railway station. The pistol was allegedly carried in Radha's bag. During the journey, Kunal remained in contact with them through the encrypted application and delayed instructions from Anil Pandit. On October 17th, the two women reached Dadar in Mumbai and checked into a hotel. At around 11 a.m., a minor boy allegedly collected a bag from Radha near the hotel. The following day, at around 7 p.m., shots were fired at Tiger Shroff's car in Mumbai. On the 20th of October, the two women were apprehended at the New Delhi railway station, while Kunal and Sumit were apprehended in Sonipat. All four were produced before a court, where officials from Maharashtra's Police Crime Investigation Department, Mumbai, moved an application seeking permission for custodial interrogation and formal arrest. The court allowed the application following which the four accused were formally arrested by Mumbai police. Now the new arrest came after three suspects who opened fire at the actor were arrested in Kota and brought back to Mumbai. The probe is seeking to establish whether the accused had direct contact with the three men arrested earlier in connection with the firing or whether an intermediary coordinated the operation. Police are expected to examine communications, travel records and other evidence of the event to reconstruct the alleged chain of events from the procurement of the weapon in Amritsar to the transportation to Mumbai.
