In a significant crackdown, the Ranchi police arrested five gangsters, including a woman, connected to cross-border criminal activities. These arrests unveiled a network involved in smuggling Pakistani-made firearms into India.
The operation, following a tip-off, led to the seizure of illegal weapons and cash. Identified as members of the Koylanchal Shanti Sena and linked to the Prince Khan gang, the suspects were nabbed near the Chutu overbridge and the Argora area. Among them was Riya Sinha, the wife of gang leader Sujeet Sinha.
Authorities disclosed that firearms were smuggled via drones from Pakistan through Punjab, intended to intimidate and extort local businessmen. The gang collected funds for Prince Khan, who resided in the UAE, channeling resources back to Pakistan to fund further illicit activities. An investigation is ongoing, with potential links to wider networks being explored.
