Overview
- The CCB’s Economic Offences Wing registered an Arms Act case on February 25.
- Two suspects — Javed Alam, 19, and Syed Masood, 26 — were earlier arrested in Bengaluru with a .32 pistol and about 50 live rounds, and they identified Irfan as their supplier.
- A CCB team apprehended Irfan at his Bhopal residence on March 12 and, based on interrogation, seized three country-made pistols, a dismantled revolver, and two live rounds.
- Police say the investigation now accounts for five firearms in total and more than 50 rounds recovered across the linked arrests.
- Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said teams are tracing the manufacturing source and wider network, and police suspect Irfan may not be the main supplier.
