Two held for supplying illegal arms in city
The Delhi Police Special Cell has successfully dismantled an interstate arms trafficking network by arresting two illegal arms traffickers and recovering 10 country-made pistols from their possession.
Four armed robbers were arrested by the Delhi Police after a brief exchange of fire at Shahdara in the national capital, an official said on Saturday.
The accused have been identified as Vikram Singh alias Pintu, Subham Choudhary alias Sunny, Dev Kumar alias Dinesh and Hari Kishan, all residents of Uttar Pradesh.
Furnishing the details, DCP R. Sathiyasundaram said that a tip-off was received on Friday regarding the likely presence of the miscreants involved in a robbery case in which Rs 3 lakh was looted by two bike-borne criminals at gunpoint.

In the brief encounter, two accused persons sustained bullet injuries.
