Overview
- Police recovered seven pistols — three 9mm Glocks, a 9mm Beretta, a 9mm Zigana, a 9mm PX5 and a .30-bore — during the raids in Amritsar.
- The accused were identified as Resham Singh, 30, Sumit, 28, and Vishal Kumar, 22, detained in an intelligence-led operation, officials said.
- Officers first arrested Resham with two Glocks, then seized three more from a location he disclosed, before detaining Sumit with two pistols; Vishal was picked up later that evening.
- Preliminary findings indicate the trio communicated via social media with a Pakistan-based handler who sent consignments by drones for pickup near the border, according to police.
- A case under Sections 25(1-A), 6, 7 and 8 of the Arms Act has been registered at the Cantonment police station, and investigators are tracing the wider supply chain and intended recipients.
