The suspect, identified as Adnan (23), allegedly established connections with fellow criminals during his incarceration in a robbery case, becoming enticed by their opulent lifestyle.

“We received intelligence on April 2 regarding a potential illegal firearms supplier in the northeast area. Acting swiftly, a specialized team was assembled. They set up surveillance near Kheton Wala Mandir,” stated Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northeast) Joy Tirkey.
