According to police sources, Salahuddin had been supplying illegal weapons throughout the state for a long time. As his house was next to the police station, he evaded suspicion. A neighbour said suspicious-looking people would often visit Salahuddin's house, but nobody had an idea that he was involved in illegal arms trade.
