Police say dead‑letter box used to funnel weapons for Tiger Shroff attack

Police investigators disclosed that a covert dead‑letter box was used to move weapons earmarked for an attack on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. The discovery came after a routine surveillance operation linked a series of suspicious parcels to a known smuggling route.
A dead‑letter box is a hidden container where items are left anonymously for pickup, a method often favoured by criminal networks to avoid direct contact. Forensic analysis of the recovered cache confirmed the presence of firearms and ammunition consistent with the alleged plot.
The case remains under active investigation, with authorities combing through communication records and tracing the origin of the parcels. No arrests have been announced yet, and officials have urged the public to report any similar suspicious activities.
The incident has heightened concerns about the safety of high‑profile personalities and the use of low‑tech methods by organized crime groups in India.
