Four pistols and 23 bullets were seized from a house in Seva Dal Nagar area here and a woman who resides there has been arrested, police said today.
"Police team raided the woman's house last night. Four Mauser pistols with silencer and 23 live cartridges found concealed in a flour container, were seized," Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Special Branch, Ravindra Singh Pardeshi told reporters.
The action was launched following a tip-off that some weapons have been kept in the house in Seva Dal Nagar in Bhande Plot area, he said.
The woman, identified as Mangala Salunkhe (45), who works as a domestic help, lives in the house with her husband, who is a welder by profession.
"Following the raid, the woman was arrested. However, police do not suspect the involvement of her husband in this connection," Pardeshi said.
"It is suspected that the pistols and the cartridges belong to a local gangster, who must have hidden them in that house," he added.
Further investigation into the case is on, Pardeshi said.
