Gun under greens: Police seize illegal arms from shop disguised as ‘Sabji Waale' in Purnia

Acting on a tip-off, the Bihar Special Task Force (STF) and the district police carried out a joint raid on Monday, uncovering a large cache of illegal weapons and live cartridges from a shop named 'Sabji Waale' — a seemingly ordinary vegetable vendor. The operation led to the arrest of an alleged arms smuggler, Kunal Kumar Singh, a resident of Purnia College Road under Haat police station area. From his shop, the police recovered the breech block (rotating bolt) of an AK-47 rifle, a German-made Beretta pistol, and 440 rounds of live cartridges. According to officials, Kunal had a criminal history involving multiple arms smuggling charges and had previously served four jail terms under the Arms Act. Notably, he was released just two months ago from Beur central jail in Patna. Police records show that at least five cases are registered against him across Patna, Munger, and Purnia. Purnia SP, Sweety Sehrawat, said police received an input that Kunal, already wanted in multiple cases, was continuing his illegal trade by concealing it behind a vegetable shop front.
