Punjab Police Busts Interstate Arms-Supply Network Amidst Gang Rivalry

Punjab Police announced the breakthrough of dismantling an inter-state illegal arms supply module, capturing four men in Patiala. The network reportedly provided country-made firearms from Bihar to support criminal activities in Punjab, signaling an underlying gang rivalry.

Director General of Police, Gaurav Yadav, highlighted the recovery of ten sophisticated firearms, identifying the arrested as Saurabh Kumar from Bihar, and Sajan, Abhishek alias Kaka, and Inderjit Singh alias Rohit from Punjab. Preliminary investigations indicated intentions to attack a rival criminal network, according to the DGP.

Senior Superintendent of Police, Varun Sharma, revealed leads linking these operations to foreign handlers, aimed at executing targeted killings. With the supervision of local officers, Kumar was apprehended for allegedly running multiple arms-manufacturing units in Muzaffarpur to channel weapons into Punjab's illicit market.
