Three of the main players in the interstate gang of gun traffickers, including the manufacturer, were taken into custody by Delhi Police’s special cell. They had eleven semi-automatic handguns found on them. Arrested individuals would purchase weapons from Madhya Pradesh and resell them to lawbreakers in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi/NCR.
A team of SR/Special Cell, led by Inspector Ranjeet Singh and Satvinder Singh, under the supervision of ACP Ved Parkash, busted the syndicate by arresting three of its key members who have been identified as Vimal Kumar (19) from Prayagraj, Sumit Kumar (19) from Prayagraj and Amarjeet Singh (35) from Khargone, MP.
“After sustained efforts for more than four months, some of the members of this interstate firearm syndicate were identified. On December 4, 2023, specific information was received that two members of this arms syndicate, namely Vimal Kumar and Sumit Kumar, had procured a consignment of pistols from Khargone, MP, and they had brought the same to Delhi. As per information, they were supposed to meet one Delhi-based arms trafficker near the Pul Prahladpur underpass, M.B. Road, New Delhi, in the afternoon to deliver the pistols,” the special cell of Delhi Police said.
