Arms factory, operating from banquet, busted in Bokaro
1 2 3 Bokaro: A joint team, comprising a special task force (STF) of Kolkata Police, a Jharkhand Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and the district police uncovered an illegal mini gun manufacturing factory operating from a marriage hall in Jaridih Upper Market, in Bermo late on Thursday night. The secret unit was hidden on the premises of Kaveri Marriage Palace and a nearby warehouse under Gandhinagar police station limits. The location of the factory was learnt by the STF during the interrogation of a few criminals in Kolkata, the police said. "The team seized a cache of illegal arms-making machinery, including a lathe machine, semi-finished pistols, tools, and weapon parts. Additionally, Rs 1 lakh cash, 40 cartons of illegal canned beer, and other suspicious items were recovered from the site," Bokaro SP Harvinder Singh said on Friday. Two accused, identified as Praveen from Munger and Keshav from Khagaria districts of Bihar, were arrested. Both are skilled at making illegal guns, the police said. However, the main accused, who ran the factory, managed to flee, police sources said. The investigation took shape when Kolkata Police arrested a few criminals who revealed the existence of an illegal arms facility operating in Jharkhand's Bermo sub-division. Once manufactured, these weapons were then supplied to criminal syndicates across West Bengal and other states. The entire premises, including the marriage hall and adjacent structures, were thoroughly searched by the joint forces during the operation. Police sources indicate that efforts are now focused on dismantling the wider network behind the arms trade. Stating that the seizure highlighted the growing concern over illegal arms networks operating under the cover of legitimate businesses, Singh said, "The district police is thoroughly investigating to unravel the network. Stocks of beer, along with chemicals, are also concerning."
