Overview
- The intelligence‑led raid by BSF’s 117 Battalion with Punjab special units resulted in the arrest of Rohan Khosla, police said on Friday.
- Officers recovered 26 firearms including an AK‑47, 25 pistols, 48 magazines, 368 rounds, a US‑made bulletproof vest and an impounded car used to move the consignment.
- An FIR was filed under the Arms Act, provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and civil aviation laws as investigators probe whether the shipment was drone‑dropped and who arranged the drop.
- Police say preliminary evidence links the local courier to an Australia‑based associate who allegedly shared a drop location on social media, and authorities are tracing forwards and backwards to identify accomplices and end‑users.
- The seizure adds to a string of weapons recoveries in Amritsar since January 2026 and has led to stepped‑up border surveillance, anti‑drone deployments and heightened checks on organised‑crime and terror supply chains.
