Police allege the suspects acted on instructions from a man identified as Anil Pandit, who coordinated the operation through an encrypted messaging app.<\/p>\n<h2>Arrests and alleged roles<\/h2>\n<p>The four accused have been named as Kunal, 21, and Sumit, 19, both residents of Sonipat in Haryana, and Radha, 23, from Sitapur district, Uttar Pradesh, along with Babita, 23, from Azamgarh district, Uttar Pradesh. According to a statement released by the Special Cell, Kunal had recently secured bail before being re\u2011arrested. He was introduced to Pandit by a friend from Harsana village, after which the two began communicating via the encrypted platform.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators say Kunal travelled to Amritsar on Pandit\u2019s direction to collect a pistol and twenty rounds of ammunition, with Sumit accompanying him on that trip. The police further allege that Kunal met Radha roughly two months earlier, developed a personal relationship, and disclosed the details of his activities, eventually persuading her to accompany the weapon to Mumbai.<\/p>\n<h2>Timeline of the alleged transport<\/h2>\n<p>On October 15, Kunal is said to have escorted Radha and Babita to New\u202fDelhi Railway Station. From there, the two women boarded a train bound for Mumbai, with the pistol allegedly concealed inside Radha\u2019s bag. Throughout the journey, Kunal maintained contact with Pandit via the encrypted messaging service, relaying further instructions to the women.<\/p>\n<p>The pair arrived in Dadar, Mumbai, on October 17 and checked into a hotel. The Special Cell\u2019s statement claims that a minor boy collected the bag containing the firearm from Radha near the hotel at around 11\u202fa.m. that day. The following evening, at approximately 7\u202fp.m., shots were fired at Tiger Shroff\u2019s car, an incident that sparked a high\u2011profile investigation.<\/p>\n<p>After the shooting, police allege Pandit contacted Kunal to inform him that the shooters were stranded in Mumbai and instructed Kunal to arrange an escape route for them. The two women, Radha and Babita, reportedly left Mumbai on the Dadar\u2011Haridwar Express on October 18.<\/p>\n<h2>Legal proceedings and custody<\/h2>\n<p>The Special Cell reported that the two women were apprehended at New\u202fDelhi Railway Station on October 20, while Kunal and Sumit were arrested in Sonipat. All four were presented before a court under Section 35(1)(b) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). Subsequently, officials from Maharashtra Police\u2019s Crime Investigation Department (CID) in Mumbai filed an application seeking permission to interrogate the suspects while in custody and to formally arrest them in connection with the firing case.<\/p>\n<p>The court granted the CID\u2019s request, leading to the formal arrest of all four individuals by the Maharashtra Police team. A further application was approved, allowing a three\u2011day transit remand so investigators could transport the accused to Mumbai for additional questioning.<\/p>\n<p>The arrests highlight a suspected cross\u2011state operation involving the procurement and movement of a firearm from Haryana to Maharashtra. However, the Special Cell\u2019s statement does not confirm whether the pistol recovered from the suspects has been definitively linked to the shots fired at Tiger Shroff\u2019s car, nor does it establish whether the alleged plan to facilitate the shooters\u2019 escape was successful.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities continue to investigate the full extent of the alleged conspiracy, the identity of the actual shooters, and any additional individuals who may have been involved in planning or executing the attack. The case remains under active scrutiny by both Delhi and Maharashtra law\u2011enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi Police Special Cell arrested four suspects, including two women, for allegedly moving a pistol to Mumbai ahead of the October 18 attack on Tiger Shroff&#8217;s car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[299],"tags":[3133,2648,3131,3132,3066],"class_list":["post-2821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-court-proceedings","tag-delhi-police","tag-firearm-case","tag-maharashtra-cid","tag-tiger-shroff","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2821","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2821"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2821\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2821"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2821"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsraise.com\/in\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2821"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
