Indore’s STF has dismantled a budding arms syndicate, arresting two individuals and securing five cutting-edge pistols in a swift, intelligence-driven sweep. The January 24 operation exemplifies the Madhya Pradesh Police’s unwavering resolve to eradicate illegal firearms from circulation.
DSP Rajesh Singh Chauhan handpicked personnel for the task: Inspector Ramesh Chauhan led one unit with Head Constable Bhupendra Gupta and Constable Vivek Dwivedi, while Head Constable Adarsh Dikshit commanded the other with Constables Devraj Baghel and Devendra Singh. A tip-off about arms peddlers in action galvanized the forces.
The joint teams converged on the site, boxing in the targets before a meticulous body search. Out came the contraband: five premium pistols with full magazines, unaccompanied by any authorization documents. The duo, originally from Boradiya in Khargone’s Bhikangaon jurisdiction, faced immediate arrest.
Current inquiries are delving into procurement routes, associate networks, and end-user intentions, aiming to uproot the menace comprehensively. Standard protocols were followed in processing the evidence and suspects.
Communities across Indore breathe easier knowing dedicated officers are on the frontlines. This raid not only removes dangerous tools from wrong hands but also disrupts larger criminal ecosystems, promising a safer tomorrow through persistent enforcement.
