SAMBA, January 10 2026 :- In a significant breakthrough against organized crime, the Samba Police have arrested a notorious criminal and recovered a country-made pistol, marking the fourth arrest in a major ongoing investigation.

The accused, identified as Pritam Singh, alias Sethi, a resident of Jedra in Ramgarh, was apprehended by a specialized team from the Vijaypur Police Station.

Following intense questioning, the suspect led officers to his native village, where the weapon was found hidden.

This arrest is part of a broader crackdown under FIR No. 71/2025, involving charges under Section 111 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act.
