Police allege that all four played a role in collecting weapons and delivering them to the shooters. Earlier, Hrithik from Bihar and Rehan and Phool Singh from Haryana were arrested from Kota on charges of firing. The name of Lawrence gang member Anil Pandit has also emerged in the investigation.
Kunal came in contact with the gang as soon as he came out of jail.
According to sources related to the investigation, Kunal came out of Sonipat jail in July. After this he met Anil Pandit through a friend. Both started talking on encrypted messaging app. Police suspect that Anil was giving instructions to his network while staying abroad. About two weeks ago, he gave Kunal the responsibility of collecting weapons from Amritsar and sending them to Mumbai. Kunal involved Sumit in this work.

According to police sources, Kunal and Sumit reached Amritsar, where the pistol and 20 cartridges were kept at a fixed place. Both of them picked up weapons from there. They were not given information about who had kept the weapons there.
This method is called 'dead letter box'. In this, the goods are left at a certain place and another person takes it from there. In this way there is no need for a direct meeting between the two. Sources claim that 70 to 80 thousand rupees were given to Kunal and Sumit for delivering the weapons. Out of this, about Rs 10 to 12 thousand were given to Radha and Babita.
Women reached Mumbai by train with pistol in their bag
According to investigation, Kunal met Radha about two months ago. Radha and Babita worked in a factory in Sonipat. Police allege that Kunal prepared both of them to take the weapons to Mumbai.
On October 15, Kunal took both the women to New Delhi Railway Station. It is being told that the pistol was kept in Radha's bag. After this both left for Mumbai by train. During the journey, Kunal was in touch with Anil Pandit through an encrypted app and was giving instructions to the women.

As soon as he reached Mumbai, the minor went away with the bag near the hotel.
According to the police, on October 17, Radha and Babita reached Dadar Railway Station in Mumbai and stayed in a hotel. The same day, around 11 am, a minor boy went near the hotel carrying Radha's bag.
Investigators suspect that the pistol kept in the bag was used in firing at Tiger Shroff's car. Police are also finding out whether the boy who took the bag was the same minor who has been arrested from Kota in this case. This relationship has not been confirmed yet.
After the firing, there were preparations to evacuate the shooters from Mumbai.
According to the police, on October 18, at around 7 pm, there was firing on Tiger Shroff's car. The actor remained safe in this incident, while his driver was injured. Investigators say that Anil Pandit contacted Kunal after the incident. He reportedly told that the shooters were stuck in Mumbai and asked to make arrangements to get them out of the city.
On the same day, Radha and Babita boarded the express train from Dadar to Haridwar. Police are now investigating the connection between their travel, supply of weapons and movement of the accused after the firing. Police investigation is ongoing in the matter. Who provided the weapons, what was the role of the minor who took the bag and who was operating the entire network, the answers to these questions will become clear only after the investigation is completed.
