New Delhi: Four more people, including two women, have been arrested in the shooting case involving actor Tiger Shroff.
On October 18, two men opened fire on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff's car in the Juhu area of Mumbai. A third person was waiting a few meters away on his motorcycle.
After firing seven shots at Tiger Shroff, the three fled on a motorcycle. They abandoned the motorcycle near Andheri West railway station.
Through CCTV footage and technical investigation, the police traced the route they had taken. From there, those who boarded a train to Jaipur were arrested in Kota city, Rajasthan.
This incident took place on the promise of money and jobs abroad. The three involved are Hrithik alias Roshan (22) from Begusarai in Bihar, Rehan (18) from Sonipat in Haryana, and Bhool Singh (18).
The three had planned to flee to Nepal via Jaipur and Delhi. It has come to light that Anil Pandit, a member of the jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi gang, was behind this conspiracy.
Lawrence Bishnoi has said that he is taking responsibility for the attack on Tiger Shroff through Anil Pandit. Meanwhile, 4 more people, including 2 women involved in the shooting incident, have been arrested.
They have been arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell. The arrested individuals have been identified as Kunal (21), Sumit (19), Radha (23), and Babita (23). After being produced in a Delhi court, all four were handed over today on transit remand to the Maharashtra Police CID (Mumbai) team. The Delhi police, during questioning of these four, obtained several pieces of information. According to this, it has been found that among those arrested, Kunal and Sumit had gone to Amritsar about two weeks ago to collect weapons.
It was arranged, on the instructions of Anil Pandit, that a pistol and 20 cartridges be procured from Amritsar. These weapons had been sent to Mumbai through the arrested women, Radha and Babita.
The two women, who were returning to Delhi after the shooting incident, were caught at New Delhi railway station last night. Kunal and Sumit were arrested in Sonipat.
For this job, Anil Pandit had paid Kunal and Sumit between Rs. 70,000 and Rs. 80,000. Of that, Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 12,000 were given to the two women, Babita and Radha. Among them, the woman named Radha is Kunal's girlfriend.
Radha and Babita work in a factory in Sonipat. It was only about two months ago that Kunal met Radha. The investigation has revealed that, at Kunal’s insistence, Radha and Babita came to Mumbai with weapons.
