The accused, identified as Shivraj Singh, a resident of Hathoj village on Kalwar Road, reportedly helped Jeetu Chambal acquire the assault rifle in Jaipur about three-and-a-half months ago. According to AGTF sources, Jeetu came to Jaipur in a car at the instruction of his elder brother but was unfamiliar with the area. Sonu then contacted Shivraj, who took Jeetu to Kalwar Road.
There, a youth arrived with a cricket kit bag.
Inside it was an AK-47, which was inspected and placed in Jeetu's vehicle.
This seizure has reignited focus on the Lawrence Bishnoi network. Sources suspect the AK-47 was part of a broader supply chain of weapons orchestrated through known arms smuggler Mahendra. During a previous Gogamedi case probe, police found a photo of an AK-47 in Mahendra's flat in Jagatpura, but he managed to flee with the weapon before police arrived.
