One person, suspected to be an arms smuggler has been arrested with 16 pistols from near Jamalpur Railway Construction Officer under East Railway Colony police station area in Bihar's Munger district, a police officer said today.
Acting on a tip off, the Special Task Force (STF) and East Railway Colony police netted the arms smuggler, identified as Md. Aslam, with a consignment of 16 pistols last night.
He was apparently on way to deliver the consignment to a client when the raid took place, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Lalit Mohan Sharma said.
The accused, a native of Bardah area, was believed to have brought these weapons from Sahebganj in neighbouring Jharkhand, he said.
