Moga Police Bust Cross-Border Arms Network: 5 Illegal Weapons Seized in Major Crackdown

MOGA, February 27, 2026 — In a significant blow to cross-border smuggling networks, the Moga Police have arrested two suspects and recovered a substantial cache of illegal arms and ammunition during a high-stakes targeted operation.

The seizure includes five sophisticated firearms: three .30 bore pistols, one .32 bore pistol, and a high-end Glock 9mm pistol, alongside a quantity of live ammunition. This operation marks a critical success in the ongoing effort to intercept illegal weapon flows within the region.

Preliminary investigations have already yielded alarming results, revealing that one of the arrested individuals, Lakhwinder Singh, was allegedly operating under the direct instructions of a Pakistan-based handler.

This international link suggests a coordinated attempt to destabilize local security through the infusion of illicit weaponry.An FIR under the Arms Act has been officially registered at the City Moga Police Station.

Authorities have confirmed that the investigation is far from over; police are currently working to trace both “forward and backward linkages” to identify the ultimate recipients of these weapons and the source of the supply chain.

This breakthrough reinforces the Punjab Police’s unwavering commitment to dismantling organized crime syndicates and maintaining long-term peace and public safety across the state.
