The Delhi Police Crime Branch on Saturday uncovered a major international arms smuggling network with ISI connections. Police said they arrested four smugglers associated with this racket, who were importing high-tech weapons from Pakistan via drones and supplying them to gangsters like Lawrence and Gogi.
According to the Crime Branch, they received information that some smugglers were planning to supply weapons to Delhi. Subsequently, a trap was laid in the Rohini area and the accused were apprehended. Police recovered 10 high-tech pistols made in Turkey and China and 92 live cartridges from the scene.
Police say the recovered weapons are highly sophisticated and a large network was operating behind them. This suggests an organized and highly funded smuggling module.
Weapons were initially transported from Turkey and China to Pakistan
According to the police, this racket was operating from Pakistan. The weapons were first transported from Turkey and China to Pakistan, and then dropped in Punjab via drones. These were then transported to Delhi and surrounding states with the help of smugglers from Uttar Pradesh and Punjab and delivered to the Lawrence, Bambiha, Gogi, and Himanshu Bhau gangs. The network used to send money to Pakistan through hawala.
The Crime Branch is investigating the entire network.
The arrested accused are residents of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. They are named Mandeep, Ajay, Dalwinder, and Rohan. Police are now investigating how many consignments have been sent to India so far and which gangs received the weapons. The Crime Branch is investigating the entire network and its foreign connections through mobile locations, bank records, and social media links.
Following the car bombing in Delhi on November 10th, security agencies across the country are on high alert. A large-scale operation is underway from the capital Delhi to border states. Continuous raids are being conducted against terrorist aides in Kashmir, and the Delhi Police Crime Branch uncovered this network. While its links to terrorists have not yet been established, links to gangsters have been established.
