Kolkata: Recovery of arms and ammunition continued as the police cracked the whip before the upcoming assembly elections. In two separate incidents over the past 24 hours, six people have been arrested for unauthorized possession of arms and explosives from Kidderpore and Picnic Garden.
Officers from the Nadial police station arrested Imran Hossain alias Immu (21) from Yaub Nagar near Kidderpore on Saturday night. A history-sheeter, Immu was arrested with a country-made pistol, loaded with two rounds of ammunition, claimed the police.
The next morning, the police, acting on a tip-off, raided the Picnic Garden area and recovered a large amount of gunpowder and ingredients to make bombs from a house. Five persons were arrested.
The police are interrogating the five to find out which political party had engaged them to make bombs before the elections.
