“Visionary” Union Minister Arjun Munda on Union Budget 2023

In a major breakthrough, Delhi Police Crime Branch has exposed a dangerous transnational arms racket operating from the heart of the capital. Ten accused have been arrested and 21 sophisticated firearms, including a Czech submachine gun and high-end pistols, have been seized along with 200 live cartridges. Investigators reveal that the weapons were sourced from Pakistan, routed through Nepal, and distributed via Delhi’s Walled City to criminal gangs across NCR and beyond. This was not a routine crime network but a well-organised supply chain connecting international sources to domestic operators. The presence of military-grade weapons raises serious concerns about national security and the intent behind such operations. Officials are now probing financial links and possible sleeper connections to identify the masterminds and end users. While the bust marks a significant success, it also highlights the evolving and global nature of organised crime networks targeting India.
