The city police arrested two men and recovered a huge cache of weapons from the duo along with a dozen live rounds on Thursday.
The police had received intel from sources about a huge cache being brought to Jaipur, for sale to anti-social elements, which could be used during the elections to cause law and order problem.
Handling the matter with utmost finesse, the cops not only nabbed the duo and confiscated the weapons, they also successfully gathered information about the origin point of the weapons and are now trying to identify the men to whom the weapons were to be sold.
Due to the ongoing election season in state, orders had been issued to take effective action against those in possession of illegal weapons.
“We had been received information from sources that a factory was operating in Jawli village of Laxmangarh tehsil of Alwar district wherein illegal weapons were being made. In the process, we received information that these weapons were also being brought to Jaipur,” said Satyendra Singh, DCP North.
The police formed a special team to bust the network and arrest those behind peddling arms in the city.
“On Thursday, the special team learnt from a source that two men were bringing a huge cache of arms in accordance with a fake deal struck by the source. The weapons were to be handed over to the man near Sukhi Nadi cut near Hatwara. Based on this the team was positioned at the spot and as the men reached the spot the cops nabbed them. They were identified as Sher Singh Jatav (22) and Ashok Jatav,” the DCP informed.
Meanwhile the duo were frisked and the police recovered eight country-made pistols and eight live rounds from one of the accused Sher Singh while also recovering seven country made pistols and four live rounds from Ashok.
“The duo have been arrested and further investigation into the matter is being conducted,” the official said.
