Punjab Police busts cross-border smuggling module; One held with 2 Glock Pistols

Chandigarh/Amritsar, August 5, 2024 (Yes Punjab News)

Amidst the ongoing special drives to ensure peaceful celebrations of forthcoming Independence Day-2024 as committed by the Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, Punjab Police has busted a cross-border smuggling module with the arrest of an operative of Pak-based smuggler Rana Dyal, said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Monday.

The arrested accused has been identified as Rajwant Singh alias Raju, a resident of village Attalgarh in Amritsar. Police teams have recovered two sophisticated 9MM Glock pistols along with two magazines from his possession, besides, impounding his motorcycle CT-100 (PB02AL7481), on which he was going to deliver the consignment.

DGP Gaurav Yadav said that State Special Operation Cell (SSOC) Amritsar had received an intel-input that Rajwant Singh Raju has recently procured a consignment of smuggled weapons and narcotics, and was on his way to deliver it to a party near Khurmanian Morh on Attari-Amritsar Road.

Acting swiftly on the input, police team from SSOC Amritsar cordoned off the specified area in a planned manner and apprehended accused Rajwant Raju and recovered weapon consignment during the search, he added.

The DGP said that the arrested accused has been in contact with Pak-based smuggler Rana Dyal, who was pushing huge consignments of weapons and drugs into Indian territory through drones and other means.

Further investigations are underway to determine the previous smuggling activities carried out by the accused, he said.

Sharing more details, AIG SSOC Amritsar Sukhminder Singh Mann said that during preliminary investigations, it was discovered that Rajwant Singh has been receiving consignments of drugs and illegal weapons sent by Pak-smuggler Rana Dyal for quite some time. The smuggled weapons were meant for sale to local buyers, he added.

In this regard, a case FIR No. 46 dated 04.08.2024 has been registered under sections 21, 25 and 29 of the NDPS act, 25 of the Arms Act, 61 (2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) act at Police Station SSOC Amritsar. The Accused will be produced in court to obtain police remand.
