Tiger shooters got weapons via ‘dead drop’; couriers delivered guns a day earlier

NEW DELHI: The shooters involved in the attack on actor Tiger Shroff received their weapons through a “dead drop” arrangement on Oct 17, just a day before the incident. Couriers Babita and Radha — who have since been arrested — were provided the weapons at New Delhi Railway Station by the main supplier, identified as Kunal.Kunal, who has also been arrested, has emerged as a key character who had been in touch with gangsters Anil Pandit and Randeep Malik for over two months. He had also figured as the source of the weapon used for the murder of a forex-hawala trader in Sonipat last year, sources said.In this case, he was relaying the instructions from Pandit to the two women after dropping them at the station on Oct 15. The women reached Mumbai on Oct 17, got off at Dadar and checked into a hotel.
