The agency carried out searches at 12 locations spread across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar and Maharashtra as part of its investigation into a network allegedly connected to Pakistani operative Jasvir Chaudhary and his associates.
DGP Gaurav Yadav said preliminary investigation has revealed that the accused persons were in direct contact with a Pak-based handler through social media platforms, who were sharing coordinates to retrieve and further supply of weapon consignments.
The arrested accused has been identified as Amit Singh, a resident of Guru Ki Wadali, Chheharta in Amritsar.
In a swift, intelligence-led operation, as part of the ongoing crackdown to make Punjab a safe and secure state under the directions of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the Amritsar Commissionerate Police busted a cross-border arms smuggling network.
