Chandigarh/Amritsar, November 10, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Amritsar Commissionerate Police has dismantled two alleged illegal arms supply networks with the arrest of six individuals and the recovery of 14 pistols, Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav said on Tuesday.
The arrested accused have been identified as Bobby Singh and Ravinder Singh alias Manna, both residents of Talwandi Shoba Singh village in Tarn Taran; Gurpreet Singh alias Preet, originally from Khohala village and currently residing in Jandpeer Colony, Amritsar; Kamal of Sandhu Colony, Amritsar; Ajay Singh alias Kaka of Essma Estate, Amritsar; and Swaran Singh of Sector 17, Panchkula, Haryana.
The recovered weapons include one .30-bore TISAS Zigana, one .30-bore Zigana Eagle, one .30-bore pistol made in China, two 9mm pistols, seven .30-bore pistols and two .32-bore pistols.
According to DGP Yadav, preliminary investigations suggest that the accused were in contact with foreign-based handlers through social media platforms. The handlers allegedly arranged illegal weapons consignments delivered by drones, which the accused retrieved and subsequently supplied to individuals involved in criminal activities.
Commissioner of Police Amritsar Harmanbir Singh Gill said that five accused — Bobby Singh, Ravinder Singh alias Manna, Gurpreet Singh alias Preet, Kamal and Ajay Singh alias Kaka — were arrested in the first operation, leading to the recovery of six pistols. In a separate operation, police arrested Swaran Singh and recovered eight pistols from him.
Two separate cases have been registered: FIR No. 272 dated November 2, 2026, under Sections 25(6,7,8) of the Arms Act at Chheharta police station, and FIR No. 207 dated November 8, 2026, under the same sections at Civil Lines police station.
Further investigation is underway to identify other associates and establish the alleged networks’ backward and forward linkages, the DGP said.
