Mumbai, October 21, 2026: The investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff has taken a fresh turn, with Delhi Police arresting four additional suspects, including two women, over their alleged involvement in supplying weapons to the shooters.
According to police officials, the arrests were made as investigators worked to uncover the alleged weapons supply network behind the October 18 firing incident in Mumbai’s Juhu area. The accused have been identified as Kunal, 21, Sumit, 19, Radha, 23, and Babita, 23.
The two men were arrested in Haryana’s Sonipat, while the two women were apprehended at New Delhi Railway Station. The accused were subsequently placed under Maharashtra Police custody for further investigation.
Two Women Allegedly Transported Weapons to Mumbai
Investigators suspect that Radha and Babita played a role in transporting a pistol and ammunition to Mumbai before the firing incident.
According to the police account reported by the media, Kunal allegedly obtained a pistol and 20 rounds of ammunition from Amritsar on the instructions of a suspected handler. The weapon was subsequently carried to Mumbai, where a minor boy allegedly collected a bag containing it near a hotel in the Dadar area.
Police are examining the alleged movements of the suspects, their communications and the chain through which the weapon reached the individuals accused of carrying out the firing.
The allegations against the four suspects are still under investigation, and their precise roles will have to be established through the legal process.
Encrypted Messaging Apps Under Investigation
Investigators are also examining the alleged use of encrypted messaging applications to coordinate the movement of weapons and communication between the suspects.
According to police officials, Kunal allegedly remained in contact with the women during their journey to Mumbai and relayed instructions from a suspected handler.
The investigation is focused on identifying the individuals who allegedly arranged the weapon, coordinated its delivery and assisted the suspects after the incident.
Authorities are also looking into whether other people helped facilitate the alleged operation or provided logistical support to the shooters.
Three Suspected Shooters Arrested in Rajasthan
The latest arrests follow the apprehension of three alleged shooters in Kota, Rajasthan. The suspects, identified in media reports as Phool Singh, Hrithik Kumar and Rehan, were brought to Mumbai on October 21 for further questioning.
Police suspect that the three men were involved in the firing at a vehicle associated with Tiger Shroff in Juhu on October 18.
The actor escaped unhurt, while his driver and a passerby reportedly sustained injuries. Investigators are working to establish the sequence of events and determine the involvement of everyone suspected of participating in the incident.
Suspected Criminal Network Being Probed
Investigators are examining the alleged links between the arrested suspects and individuals believed to have coordinated the operation. Media reports have referred to a suspected connection with people associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
However, allegations of involvement in a wider criminal network require further verification, and responsibility for the attack must be established through evidence.
Police are continuing to investigate the suspected supply chain, communications between the accused and the possible role of additional individuals.
Mumbai Police Intensifies Investigation
The arrests represent another development in the investigation into the firing incident, which has raised concerns about security in Mumbai’s entertainment industry.
Investigators are expected to question the accused about the alleged transportation of weapons, the identities of the people who coordinated the operation and the circumstances surrounding the attack.
The probe will also examine whether the suspects had any prior involvement in criminal activities and whether the incident was part of a larger planned operation.
As the investigation continues, authorities are working to establish the motive behind the firing and identify all those allegedly involved.
Conclusion
The Tiger Shroff firing case has expanded beyond the alleged shooters, with investigators now examining the suspected weapons supply network and the people accused of facilitating it.
While the arrest of two women and two men marks a significant development, the full extent of the alleged conspiracy remains under investigation. Further questioning and examination of evidence are expected to help establish the roles of the suspects and whether additional individuals were involved.
