In a major breakthrough, Amritsar Commissionerate Police dismantles a cross-border illegal arms smuggling module, apprehends two accused and recovers 7 sophisticated pistols along with 40 live cartridges.
Preliminary investigation reveals that the arrested accused were in contact with foreign-based smugglers through social media apps and were receiving illegal weapon consignments through cross-border routes for further supply to criminal elements.
FIR has been registered at PS Sultanwind, #Amritsar. Further investigation is underway to establish backward and forward linkages and identify other associates involved in the illegal arms supply chain.
@PunjabPoliceInd remains firmly committed to a zero-tolerance policy against illegal arms smuggling, organised crime and cross-border criminal networks.
