Initial probes revealed that the vehicle was purchased on September 11 and was discovered abandoned near Andheri West railway station a day after the shooting. The police are probing whether it was purchased specifically for the attack or had been used earlier to conduct reconnaissance of the area frequently visited by the actor.

Vehicle Changed Hands Three Times Before Attack

According to a report by Jagran.com, the motorcycle underwent multiple ownership transfers before the incident. Originally owned by an individual in Jogeshwari, the bike was resold to a second owner before being passed to a third owner. The accused purchased the vehicle from this third seller a few weeks before the incident.

Although the payment was completed, the vehicle's ownership documents were not transferred to the buyers. The paperwork transfer was reportedly scheduled to take place after Navratri. Investigators are probing every link in this transfer chain to establish accountability.
