KOLKATA: The STF of Kolkata Police nabbed six persons, including a gun runner named Ria (25), who ran an illegal arms factory at Jharkhand’s Dumka and supplied weapons to criminals in Bengal. All the accused are from Bihar’s Munger who had shifted base to stay off the police radar.
About 25 finished and unfinished 7mm improvised pistols and pistol-making equipment were seized. Senior cops in the city force could not recall another raid in a neighbouring state where such a huge haul was seized in recent times.
