Two women arrested in Mumbai shooting case as families struggle with migrant worker backgrounds

#national #brief

Delhi Police Special Cell arrested two young women, Radha from Sitapur and Babita from Azamgarh, regarding an October 18 firing incident involving Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. Police allege the women transported a bag containing a pistol and ammunition from Delhi to Mumbai. Relatives in their home villages described the suspects as migrant workers who left home seeking regular wages and independence.

Babita's family stated she moved to Sonipat, Haryana, roughly two years ago for packaging work paying between Rs 10,000 and Rs 12,000 a month. Her sister Neelam noted Babita was a graduate who could not find stable local work. Relatives expressed distress, stating Babita had no prior criminal record and they are relying on news reports to understand the allegations.
