The accused have been identified as Deepak Kumar Saha, 34, from Munger in Bihar and Sajid from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh
The Delhi Police's Crime Branch has busted an interstate gang involved in supplying illegal arms and ammunition to notorious gangs in Delhi after procuring them from Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. Two men have also been arrested in the case.
Officials said 40 semi-automatic pistols of different caliber were recovered from the duo, who were to supply them to their clients in the first and second class coaches of trains.
The accused have been identified as Deepak Kumar Saha, 34, from Munger in Bihar and Sajid from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh. In 2016, the Crime Branch had arrested Saha while he was supplying 20 illegal weapons.
Recently, it had come to the notice of senior officers that many notorious gangs had mushroomed in and around Delhi. It also surfaced that they were using illegal firearms smuggled from Bihar and Madhya Pradesh.
"Investigations were carried out and all the identified miscreants were put under surveillance. On Saturday, information was received that Saha and his aide will come to Anand Vihar station via a train to deliver a consignment of illegal weapons to a local gangster. The police laid a trap and the two men were arrested," DCP (Crime) Madhur Verma said.
He further said that the recovered weapons were manufactured with high proficiency skills and hardly anyone could detect that they were an imitation.
"During interrogation, the arrestees revealed that they used to meet their clients in AC first-class and second-class compartments of trains to avoid being caught. This gang had been operational for the last many years and has supplied more than 300-400 illegal weapons to various gangsters and criminals groups in Delhi-NCR. Efforts are being made to identify them," he added." he added.
