The four accused were produced before the court by the special cell.Subsequently, officials of the Maharashtra Police’s Crime Investigation Department (CID), Mumbai, moved an application seeking permission for custodial interrogation and formal arrest. The court allowed the application, following which the four accused were formally arrested by the Mumbai police team. The court also granted three days’ transit remand to the investigating team.Police said Kunal, who had recently been released from jail on bail, was introduced to Anil Pandit by a friend from Harsana village in Haryana. The two allegedly began communicating through an encrypted messaging application.Acting on Pandit’s instructions, Kunal reportedly travelled to Amritsar, where he collected a pistol and 20 rounds of ammunition.DCP (special cell) Praveen Tripathi said around two months before the incident, Kunal met Radha, informed her about his activities, developed a relationship with her, and persuaded her to travel to Mumbai with the weapon.On Oct 15, Kunal allegedly took Radha and Babita to New Delhi Railway Station.

Around 11 am, a minor boy allegedly collected the bag from Radha near the hotel.On Oct 18, around 7 pm, firing was reported at actor Tiger Shroff’s car in Mumbai. Pandit subsequently informed Kunal that the shooters were stranded in Mumbai and asked him to arrange their escape.Radha and Babita allegedly left Mumbai for Delhi aboard the Dadar–Haridwar Express on Oct 18.On Oct 20, the two women were apprehended at New Delhi Railway Station, while Kunal and Sumit were apprehended in Sonipat, Haryana.
