The investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff has taken a new turn with the arrest of two women from Uttar Pradesh. Identified as Radha and Babita, the women were arrested along with two men in a case involving the alleged transportation of weapons from northern India to Mumbai.
According to reports, the Delhi Police Special Cell suspects that the women helped transport a pistol and ammunition that were allegedly used in the October 18 firing incident involving Tiger Shroff’s car. Investigators are examining their alleged links to a wider arms supply network suspected of having connections with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
The case has drawn attention not only because of its connection to Bollywood but also because of the contrasting accounts emerging from police investigations and the women’s families. While investigators are probing the alleged roles of the accused, relatives have expressed shock over their arrests and questioned the circumstances that brought them into the case.
Who Are Radha and Babita?
Radha is from Sitapur district in Uttar Pradesh, while Babita belongs to Kothiyar village in Azamgarh district. According to media reports, both women had moved away from their native villages in search of employment and were living in Haryana before their names surfaced in the investigation.
Babita reportedly moved to Sonipat around two years ago after learning about packaging jobs through acquaintances. Her family said she had completed her graduation but struggled to find suitable employment close to home. A regular monthly income offered her an opportunity to support her family and build a more independent life.
Radha had also left her village to look for work. According to reports, she moved to Haryana several years ago. Her personal circumstances and employment history are among the details being examined as investigators try to establish how she allegedly came into contact with people suspected of being involved in the case.
Police have reportedly visited both women’s villages and questioned relatives and other local residents as part of the investigation.
What Is the Alleged Connection to the Tiger Shroff Firing Case?
According to the police account reported by several news organisations, Radha allegedly came into contact with Kunal, one of the other accused, before the firing incident. Investigators suspect that Kunal persuaded her to transport a bag containing a pistol and ammunition to Mumbai.
Police allege that Babita accompanied Radha on the journey. The investigation is also examining the suspected role of other people who may have arranged the weapon, coordinated its transportation or received it after the women reached Mumbai.
According to reports, the women left New Delhi for Mumbai on October 15 and reached the Dadar area on October 17. Investigators allege that a minor boy subsequently collected the bag from Radha near their hotel.
The firing incident involving Tiger Shroff’s car took place on October 18. Police are investigating whether the weapon allegedly transported by the women was used in the attack and are attempting to establish the complete chain of people involved.
These details represent allegations made during an ongoing investigation. The precise roles of the accused and the evidence supporting the allegations remain matters for the legal process.
Families Express Shock Over the Arrests
The arrests have reportedly left both families struggling to understand how the women became linked to a case involving an alleged weapons network.
Babita’s relatives told reporters that she had left home primarily to find work. Her family described her as someone who had moved to Haryana in search of a stable income and said they had not expected her name to emerge in a criminal investigation of this nature.
In Radha’s case, her mother has reportedly claimed that her daughter was falsely implicated. The family has sought clarity about the allegations and the circumstances surrounding her arrest.
Reports also indicate that neither woman was known locally for a previous criminal history. However, the absence of a reported criminal record does not by itself establish whether a person was involved in a particular incident. That question depends on the evidence gathered by investigators and examined through the legal process.
Police Investigating the Alleged Weapons Supply Chain
The investigation extends beyond the two women. Authorities are examining where the weapon originated, how it allegedly travelled across states and who coordinated its movement before the firing incident.
Media reports citing investigators have referred to a suspected network involving people who allegedly arranged the weapon and communicated instructions to those involved in its transportation. Police are also looking into the alleged connections between the accused and individuals suspected of links to organised criminal activity.
Investigators are expected to examine communications, travel details and other evidence to reconstruct the sequence of events. Establishing who supplied the weapon, who transported it and who ultimately received it will be central to determining the responsibility of each accused person.
Questions Remain as the Investigation Continues
The arrests of Radha and Babita have added another dimension to the Tiger Shroff firing case, raising questions about the alleged movement of weapons between states and the individuals suspected of facilitating it.
Investigators still need to establish the complete chain of events, the extent of each accused person’s involvement and whether they knew the alleged purpose of the weapon’s transportation.
For now, the case remains under investigation. The police allegations, the families’ claims and the evidence collected by authorities will need to be assessed through the appropriate legal process. Neither Radha nor Babita should be treated as guilty unless their guilt is established by a court.
