Delhi Police Crack Down on Illegal Arms Racket with Major Raid

Delhi Police Special Cell dismantled an illegal arms racket, arresting three men and uncovering a cartridge factory in Moradabad. The operation led to recovery of multiple firearms and materials capable of producing nearly 1,000 cartridges. Further investigations are ongoing to identify wider criminal connections.

In a significant operation, the Special Cell of Delhi Police has successfully disrupted an illegal arms and ammunition racket operating in the National Capital Region. Officials have traced the syndicate to a cartridge manufacturing factory in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, arresting three individuals involved.

The arrested suspects, Fazil, Jameer, and Illiyas, were found in possession of an arsenal that included two semi-automatic pistols and 210 live cartridges. The strategic police operation began after receiving intelligence about an illicit arms delivery planned near the Ghazipur flyover. The key suspect, Fazil, was captured on-site, leading to further raids.

Interrogations revealed Jameer sourced ammunition from Illiyas, who operated the clandestine manufacturing unit. A raid on Illiyas's premises unearthed a robust array of cartridge-making machinery and materials. Investigations continue as authorities delve into potential connections with organized crime entities within the Delhi-NCR region.
