According to the police, the operation began on the night of January 16 near Khera Khurd Road. A police team intercepted three men on a motorcycle after noticing their suspicious movements. A search of trio led to the recovery of illegal firearms and their subsequent detention.

“Acting on inputs, the team stopped the suspects and conducted a search, during which illegal weapons were recovered,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer North) Hareshwar Swami.

Following the initial arrests a raid led to the apprehension of a fourth associate, identified as Sushil Bist (27). “Bist is a habitual offender previously involved in 34 criminal cases, including robbery, snatching and violations of the Arms Act,” the officer said.

The other arrested accused were identified as Rajat alias Gabbru (22), Anurag alias Hunny (22) and Aryan (22). In total, the police team recovered three .32 bore pistols, two country-made pistols and several rounds of live ammunition.
