New Delhi, May 30
In a major crackdown on illegal arms trafficking, the Delhi Police Crime Branch apprehended five men from a hotel in South Delhi’s Jangpura area, a statement said.
The arrests led to the recovery of a cache of weapons, ammunition, and electronic gadgets from the accused.
Acting on a specific input received by Head Constable Amit Tomar, the Crime Branch launched a coordinated operation after learning that a group from Madhya Pradesh suspected of trafficking illegal firearms had checked into a hotel in the Jangpura area.
A dedicated team was formed under Inspector Ashish Sharma's leadership and ACP Yashpal Singh's (ER-I) supervision.
The raiding party included Sub-Inspectors Prakash and Guman Singh, ASI Sandeep Chawla, and Head Constables Amit, Manish, and Anil.
During the operation, the team identified a room locked from the inside and proceeded with caution. Displaying quick action and coordination, the officers managed to breach the room and detain all five suspects without any resistance.
A thorough search of the room led to the recovery of two country-made pistols and 14 live cartridges.
