Chandigarh, Dec 7: Punjab Police announced on Sunday the busting of a cross-border arms smuggling module with Pakistan connections after arresting one individual, recovering five pistols from the accused.
Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav stated that preliminary investigations show the arrested person, along with wanted associate Saifli Singh, was retrieving weapon consignments on instructions from a Pakistan-based handler. These arms were then supplied to criminals and gangsters across Punjab, Yadav noted in a post on X.
An FIR has been registered in Amritsar, with further probes underway to uncover forward and backward linkages and completely dismantle the smuggling network.
