"The three were intercepted while travelling in a car in Sabroom. Two 9-mm pistols, seven cartridges and four loaded magazines were seized from them," Sub-Divisional Police Officer Sabyasachi Debnath told IANS from Sabroom, 135 km south of Agartala.

All three are residents of western Tripura's Bishalgarh, another trading city along the Bangladesh border.
