Delhi Police Busts Illegal Arms Manufacturing Unit in Rajasthan

The Delhi Police recently uncovered an extensive arms manufacturing network in Rajasthan's Bharatpur, resulting in the arrest of its alleged kingpin, Bilal, and his associate, Sahil. Authorities recovered a significant cache of illegal weapons and tools, marking a pivotal disruption to the supply of illegal firearms in Delhi-NCR.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Harsh Indora, Bilal had been producing and distributing single-shot pistols in the Mewat-Bharatpur region before expanding to Delhi and NCR. Bilal's entry into the trade was facilitated by his uncle, from whom he took over operations in 2018.

This operation underscores a broader crackdown on illegal arms in the region. Sahil, who assisted Bilal in arms distribution, played a crucial role in connecting with buyers. Both individuals are now in custody, with investigations ongoing to dismantle further elements of the network.
