An international arms trafficking network allegedly linked to Pakistan's ISI has been dismantled with the arrest of four operatives responsible for supplying advanced foreign weapons to organized crime groups across north India, police revealed on Saturday.

The syndicate sourced weapons via drones from Pakistan, delivering them to gangsters in Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. The network utilized encrypted communication and frequently altered drop locations to evade police surveillance. Sophisticated pistols and live cartridges were confiscated during the operation.

The arrested suspects, identified as Mandeep Singh, Dalvinder Kumar, Rohan Tomar, and Ajay alias Monu, revealed ties to infamous gangsters and cross-border suppliers. Authorities continue to investigate, uncovering further links to ISI-backed arms channels.
