In a coordinated operation by a police team and the Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), one accused was arrested after the recovery of two illegal firearms and ammunition in Phagwara city.
Phagwara SP Madhvi Sharma said here on Tuesday that a joint team, including AGTF Jalandhar personnel and other police staff, was conducting checking near a T-point close to the Mehru School area. The team was on duty as part of surveillance and search operations targeting suspected offenders.
SP Sharma said that during the operation, police noticed a young man moving suspiciously towards a nearby shop, who then attempted to hide among bushes upon spotting the police party. He was intercepted on suspicion and identified as Inderdip Singh alias Inder, a resident of Nashirabad under the Rawalpindi police jurisdiction.
She further said that during the search, police recovered one country-made pistol along with a .30 bore pistol and a magazine from his bag. The accused failed to produce any valid licence or permit for the weapons.
