Inter-state illegal arms supply module busted, 4 held: Punjab police

Chandigarh,

Apr 2 (PTI) Punjab police on Thursday said it has unearthed an inter-state illegal arms supply module with the arrest of four persons.

Patiala police also recovered 10 sophisticated self-loading firearms, Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the accused were sourcing country-made weapons from Bihar and supplying them in Punjab for criminal activities, he said.

Further probe indicates gang rivalry, with plans to target a rival criminal linked to the Goldy Dhillon network to establish dominance in the area, Yadav said on X.

A case has been registered and further investigation is underway to identify backward and forward linkages and dismantle the entire network, he added. PTI CHS DV DV
