AMRITSAR, Feb 11, 2026 — In a major blow to organized crime and cross-border smuggling, the Amritsar Commissionerate Police have apprehended two suspects involved in an illegal weapons syndicate.
During the high-stakes operation, security forces recovered five sophisticated pistols, including high-end Glock 9mm and .30 bore weapons. This breakthrough underscores the Punjab Police’s intensified efforts to intercept the flow of illicit arms before they can be used to disrupt regional peace.
Preliminary investigations have uncovered a dangerous link to international crime, revealing that the accused were in direct contact with Pakistan-based smugglers. The network allegedly utilized various social media platforms to coordinate the cross-border supply of illegal firearms.
Following the arrests, an FIR has been registered under the Arms Act at Police Station Gate Hakima. Authorities are now actively probing both forward and backward linkages to dismantle the entire trafficking web, reaffirming a zero-tolerance policy against organized crime and the influx of foreign-sourced weaponry.
