1 nabbed with sack full of illegal arms
Random checking by West district police yielded results after a gun supplier was arrested with 18 country made pistols. Identified as Ravinder, he was travelling in a Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) to avoid being caught. A police team nabbed him when he was seated in a bus plying between Old Delhi railway station to Uttam Nagar route. A police team boarded the bus at Subhash Nagar Metro station and the country made weapons were seized from a sack that he was carrying.
