Weapons from Pakistan arming gangsters in Punjab: Cops
Amritsar: Apprehensions of cross-border arms smugglers in Pakistan expanding their network in India continue to grow amid regular seizures of guns and ammunition along the neighbouring country's border in Punjab. Amritsar senior superintendent of police (rural) Maninder Singh said they had seized 170 weapons of different makes along the Pak border since Jan, with a bulk of the illegal firearms being dropped by drones. He said there were not many incidents when the supply of firerarms smuggled from Pakistan via Punjab was found in the insurgency-hit states of India or in the hands of Naxals. He, however, said that in the past, Telangana-bound improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were seized in Ambala. "But not many cases have come to light wherein arms were being sold to other terrorist-hit regions of India," he said. A police source said a majority of these weapons are smuggled to arm gangsters in Punjab. "Most of the gangsters in the region are armed with at least two-three pistols each, so the demand is high," said the source. Most of the small weapons, including Glock, Star, and Chinese-made pistols, have huge demand in Punjab, added sources. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like After Losing Weight Kevin James Looks Like A Model 33 Bridges Border Security Force Punjab frontier inspector general (IG) Atul Fulzele said BSF had seized 55 pistols, 89 magazines, and 323 rounds of ammunition in the past six months.
