Amritsar Police Bust Two Illegal Arms Supply Networks; Six Arrested, 14 Pistols Seized
Amritsar: In a major crackdown, Amritsar Commissionerate Police has busted two illegal arms supply networks, arrested six accused and recovered 14 modern pistols. Preliminary investigations suggest that the accused were allegedly in contact with foreign-based handlers through social media platforms. These handlers reportedly facilitated the delivery of illegal weapons consignments through drones.
According to the initial findings, the accused allegedly received these consignments and further supplied the weapons to individuals involved in criminal activities.
Two FIRs have been registered at Chheharta and Civil Lines police stations in Amritsar.
Further investigation is underway to identify other associates, establish the networks’ backward and forward linkages, and dismantle the wider illegal arms supply chain. Punjab Police said it remains committed to cracking down on organised criminal networks, curbing illegal arms trafficking and maintaining peace and security across the state.
