In a major breakthrough, Amritsar Commissionerate Police busts a cross-border illegal arms smuggling module, apprehends eight accused, and recovers 11 sophisticated pistols and 08 live cartridges.
Preliminary investigation reveals that the accused were allegedly in contact with foreign-based operatives involved in the supply of illegal weapons. The recovered arms were intended for distribution among criminal elements and for use in extortion, violent crimes, and other unlawful activities.
FIRs have been registered at PS Airport, PS Sadar, and PS Chheharta,
#Amritsar. Further investigation is underway to establish backward and forward linkages, identify other associates connected with the network, and ascertain further recoveries and arrests.
@PunjabPoliceInd remains firmly committed to a zero-tolerance policy against illegal arms trafficking, cross-border smuggling, and organised crime.
