In a significant operation, the Jharkhand Anti-Terrorism Squad arrested three individuals in Deoghar, confiscating a US-made pistol among other armaments. The raid, conducted in the Town police station area, was triggered by intelligence reports on illegal weapons trade.
Deoghar's Superintendent of Police, Praveen Pushkar, confirmed the arrests and the seizure of two pistols and seven cartridges during the operation. The investigation, which is currently underway, indicates the existence of a larger network involved in this illegal operation.
Authorities have vowed to extend their efforts to capture more individuals connected to this illegal arms trade, as preliminary findings suggest a more extensive criminal network.
