Amritsar Bust: Juvenile Among Four Held in Cross-Border Arms Haul

Amritsar police launched a significant operation on Friday, August 1, 2025, resulting in the arrest of four individuals, including a juvenile, on charges of trans-border arms smuggling.

Seven pistols were seized during the raid, along with live cartridges and a motorcycle. Initial investigations suggest the weapons were destined for criminal gangs operating within the state.

The firearms are believed to have been smuggled from Pakistan, with police actively pursuing leads to identify the wider network involved.

The ongoing investigation aims to unearth the complete supply chain and expose any potential links to larger criminal syndicates. The involvement of a juvenile highlights the alarming reach of this illicit trade, demanding a strengthened crackdown on cross-border criminal activities to prevent further escalation of gang violence.
