NEW DELHI: Transporting the arrested shooters linked to the attempted assassination on actor Tiger Shroff from Kota to Mumbai was a heavily guarded operation navigating a gauntlet of underworld threats, sources said.Maharashtra police, intelligence sleuths and local security units faced hazards following the dramatic apprehension in Kota. The tactical team and the suspects did not leave Kota on Monday night as planned, holding off until daylight.The convoy finally rolled out on Tuesday, around 11 am, by road, with the shooters split up and locked into separate vehicles to prevent any coordinated escape or security breach. Rajasthan and Gujarat police provided cover through their respective jurisdictions.En route, the shooters were initially quizzed individually to catch discrepancies. By 3 pm, they were brought into one vehicle and confronted face-to-face as their shifting versions needed to be corroborated.Intelligence sources indicated the transporting team had to brave dangers not only from the Lawrence gang but also from the Bambiha syndicate and their allies. The team was likely to reach Mumbai early Wednesday.
