THANE: Yasmin Khan, arrested on Saturday, for having in her possession an AK-56, pistols and live cartridges, has reportedly confessed to sleuths that the cache of arms has been at their Goregaon home ever since she married
Naeem Khan, a henchman of gangster Chota Shakeel, in 1999.
Khan was contracted by Shakeel to eliminate his former aide Iqbal Attarwala. However, he was arrested before executing the crime and is serving time in Thane Central Jail.
Khan's residence was raided after two arrested drug peddlers provided a tip off.
The AK 56 rifle was recovered along with 96 live rounds, two pistols and 13 bullets were recovered.
