Mumbai: The investigation into the recent firing on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car has uncovered a suspected international conspiracy. Law enforcement agencies are now tracing the roots of the crime to a broader syndicate allegedly operating out of the United States. While the local shooters who executed the attack in Mumbai are under intense scrutiny, investigators are diving deeper into the role of foreign-based handlers who are believed to be directing these criminal activities.
According to the latest investigation reports, the probe is heavily focused on the alleged connections of Randeep Malik and Anil Pandit, both of whom are reportedly based in the US. A crucial aspect of the ongoing investigation is the suspected modus operandi used to recruit local shooters. Investigating agencies suspect that the syndicate lured vulnerable youths by promising them a better future and the opportunity to settle abroad, eventually pulling them into a dark web of organised crime.
Reports indicate that the authorities are meticulously tracking the trajectory of Anil Pandit, examining how he managed to relocate abroad and his subsequent alleged involvement with criminal networks. While the exact recruitment process and its direct correlation with the firing on Shroff’s vehicle are yet to be independently established, the police are connecting the dots between the foreign-based masterminds and the local operatives.
Investigators are currently working to determine who issued the final instructions to the shooters, who managed the on-ground logistics, and the specific roles assigned to various individuals in the conspiracy. Digital footprints are playing a vital role in this probe. Investigating agencies are scrutinising internet-based calls and digital communication channels allegedly used by the network members to relay instructions while evading traditional surveillance.
Analysing call records and suspicious digital contacts is expected to reveal exactly where the plot was hatched and how the execution orders were transmitted to the ground level in Mumbai. However, law enforcement officials have noted that concrete evidence establishing direct links between the foreign-based suspects and the local shooters is still being compiled to expose the complete financial and operational blueprint of the syndicate.
