Man arrested with illegal firearm
The Jalandhar Commissionerate Police has arrested a man in possession of an illegal firearm following a swift operation led by Commissioner of Police Swapan Sharma.
The arrest was made after the police received a tip-off about Taranveer Singh, alias Tanu, of Kot Siddique, Jalandhar, who was also involved in illegal firing near Children’s Park recently.
The police set up a trap and apprehended the suspect. A search led to the recovery of a .32 bore illegal pistol, along with five rounds and one used round of the same caliber.
An FIR has been registered under Sections 25(1)(B), 54, and 59 of the Arms Act at Police Station Division Number 5.
Officials also confirmed that the accused already has three prior cases against him. "Further investigations are underway and additional details will be shared as the inquiry progresses", they added.
