A suspected network of women has emerged as a significant aspect of the investigation into the firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff’s car, with the Mumbai Crime Branch taking another woman into custody for questioning.

The development comes after the arrest of two women in connection with the case, while investigators continue to pursue suspects across multiple states.

According to officials, the woman was brought to the Anti-Extortion Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch for questioning. However, investigators have not yet disclosed her alleged role in the firing incident or the nature of her links to the other accused. Earlier, two women, identified as Radha and Babita, were arrested in Delhi in connection with the case.

In a parallel development, the Anti-Extortion Cell arrested three more accused from Sonipat in Haryana on Thursday. Mumbai Police have been conducting raids in different states based on intelligence inputs as part of the ongoing investigation. Following searches and arrests in Kota, Rajasthan, and Delhi, the police operation has now extended to Haryana.

The three accused arrested in Sonipat have been identified as Sameer, Jatin and Ankit Khatak. The Anti-Extortion Cell brought them to Mumbai following their arrest. They are expected to be produced before a court as part of the legal proceedings.

Investigators suspect that Sameer played a coordinating role in the alleged conspiracy. According to the police, he acted as a link between Anil Pandit and the alleged shooter, Rehan. Sameer is also accused of arranging funds and weapons in connection with the incident.

Police sources said that shortly after the firing, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly claimed responsibility through a social media post. A man identified as Anil Pandit was reportedly posting messages on behalf of the gang, according to the information being examined by investigators.

The police are continuing to investigate the precise roles of Jatin and Ankit Khatak, along with the possible involvement of other individuals in the alleged conspiracy.

With the latest arrests, the total number of people arrested in the case has reportedly reached 10, including two women. The third woman remains in custody for questioning, and her alleged connection to the incident is yet to be established publicly.

Delhi Police have arrested a 41-year-old man for cheating a garment manufacturer of approximately Rs 2 lakh on the pretext of supplying ready-made garments and sewing machine materials, officials said on Friday.

The accused, identified as Pawan Kumar Dugar, a resident of Badarpur in Delhi, was apprehended by the Cyber Police Station of Shahdara district following a technical investigation. Police also recovered a mobile phone used to contact the complainant.

According to the police, the case was registered following a complaint by Neeraj Kumar Jain, who is engaged in manufacturing ready-made garments and dealing in garment-related materials.

The complainant said that on July 6, he was contacted by Dugar, who posed as a supplier of ready-made garments and sewing machine materials. The accused persuaded him to place an order by claiming that the required goods were available for delivery.

To gain the complainant’s confidence, the accused shared catalogues, invoices and transport-related documents. He also repeatedly assured the complainant that the ordered goods would be dispatched and delivered on time.

Relying on these representations, Jain transferred approximately Rs 2 lakh through multiple transactions. However, the promised goods were never delivered, and the money was not refunded, leading to the registration of a cyber fraud case.

During the investigation, technical analysis helped the police establish leads regarding the accused’s whereabouts in Badarpur. A dedicated team from Shahdara’s Cyber Police Station subsequently conducted a raid and apprehended him.

The team comprised Sub-Inspector Sunil Dev Sihag, Head Constable Ravi Malik and Head Constable Sandeep. The operation was conducted under the leadership of Inspector Vijay Kumar, Station House Officer of the Cyber Police Station, and the overall supervision of the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Operations), Shahdara.

During the operation, the police recovered a mobile phone associated with a number allegedly used to contact the complainant.

Further financial scrutiny revealed that bank accounts linked to the accused had surfaced in six cybercrime complaints involving multiple victims and suspected fraudulent transactions worth lakhs of rupees.

According to the police, the investigation indicated that the accused allegedly acted as the caller and was directly involved in the fraudulent dealings.

Further investigation is underway to trace the complete money trail, identify additional victims and establish the full extent of the alleged fraud.

At least 12 members of a Dalit family were injured, including two who suffered stab wounds, in an alleged attack following a dispute during an idol immersion procession in Bihar’s Phulwari Sharif area, police said on Thursday.

The incident took place in the Ishopur locality, where a group of around 25 people, allegedly led by Sanjay Yadav, entered the house of Ramkumar Chaudhary and attacked family members with sticks, clubs and knives.

The condition of Ramkumar Chaudhary and Pankaj Kumar was reported to be critical and both are undergoing treatment at AIIMS, Patna.

The other injured were identified as Aman, Riya Kumari, Bahadur Chaudhary, Lalmuni Devi, Pankaj Chaudhary, Ankit, Aarti Devi, Ajay Chaudhary, Deepak and Anil. They were taken to hospitals for treatment.

A video purportedly showing the assault, including the use of knives on the street, has also surfaced.

However, its authenticity and the complete sequence of events are yet to be established through an investigation.

According to local residents, police personnel from the nearby Ishopur police outpost reached the spot after hearing the commotion and attempted to intervene.

The officers were allegedly attacked by the assailants, leaving several police personnel injured.

Additional police forces were subsequently deployed, and the situation was brought under control.

The victims alleged that the attack stemmed from a longstanding dispute between the two families and claimed that similar incidents had occurred in the past.

However, the precise cause of the dispute and the circumstances leading to Thursday’s violence have not been officially established.

Police have detained two people in connection with the incident, while efforts are underway to trace other suspects.

Investigators are examining the circumstances surrounding the clash, the alleged assault on the family and the reported attack on police personnel.

Tension continued to prevail in the locality following the incident, while the injured remained under medical care and police pursued further legal action.
