Law enforcement agencies have launched a detailed investigation into the acquisition of the firearm connected to an incident involving actor Tiger Shroff, focusing on the supply chain and methods used to procure the weapon.
According to preliminary findings, the gun was obtained through what investigators describe as a "dead drop" arrangement, a covert method of exchanging items at a predetermined location without direct contact between parties. Sources indicate that a woman associate played a role in facilitating the transfer of the weapon.
The investigation is attempting to trace the weapon's origin, the persons involved in its procurement, and the circumstances that led to its use in the incident. Police are examining communications and surveillance footage to establish a complete timeline of events.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about illegal firearms circulation in urban areas and the networks through which such weapons are obtained. Authorities have indicated that multiple individuals may be questioned as the inquiry progresses.
The police department has not released further details regarding the nature of the incident or the specific charges being considered against individuals under investigation.
