Special commissioner of police (special cell) SN Srivastava, said gangs based in Meerut, Kanpur, Allahabad and other places are smuggling guns into Delhi and efforts are on to trace, locate and bust such rackets. The consignment intercepted on Tuesday was sent from Munger in Bihar and is valued at Rs 25 lakh.
Police said the guns were meant for dealers in Delhi and Meerut, and Mishra and Alam had delivered 85
such pistols in the city about two months ago. A forensics team is examining the guns that appear to be of .32-bore calibre.
"Mishra and Alam, both residents of Munger, supply weapons to almost every part of the country. They also revealed that they supplied at least one such consignment every month in Meerut, Muzaffarnagar and the NCR. All the recovered pistols bear the marks "Army Supply Only" and "Made In USA" indicating that local criminals were fooled into believing that they were buying imported pistols,'' said joint CP (special cell) MM Oberoi.
DCP (special cell) Sanjeev Yadav said they have identified the weapon maker. "The modus operandi was simple. Local suppliers having contacts with extortionists
and snatchers placed bulk orders in Munger. The finished products were brought to Meerut and Delhi by couriers. Local suppliers picked up these consignments for their clients,'' he said.
In the last week of May, Mishra and Alam allegedly supplied a batch of 85 pistols to Haji alias Mullaji in Meerut. On July 14, they were asked to deliver 99 more pistols in Meerut and Delhi. Police said heavy rain upset their Meerut plan and they were going to deliver the pistols in Sonia Vihar in Delhi when they were caught.
Since 2012, the special cell has busted four gangs of gunrunners and seized 147 weapons. The crime branch has also busted three gangs and seized 23 weapons.
Since stopping the illegal gun trade is crucial for controlling street crime, police have adopted a three-pronged strategy: they raid local units in Munger, arrest local contacts in Meerut and Bulandshahr, and slap MCOCA (law against organized crime) charges on gunrunners.
