A Pakistani national was arrested on October 12 from east Delhi’s Laxmi Nagar area, in possession of arms and ammunition, according to the police officials.
The man, a resident of Pakistan’s Punjab province Mohammad Ashraf alias Ali, had reportedly been living in Delhi with an Indian identity card obtained through forged documents, PTI quoted Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Pramod Singh Kushwaha as saying.
