Investigation Continues into Theft of Firearms from Secunderabad Madras Regiment
Twelve firearms, including four AK-203 rifles, seven pistols, and an INSAS rifle, along with over 1,000 rounds of ammunition and night-vision binoculars, were stolen from the 20 Madras Regiment's Secunderabad Cantonment. The theft, discovered on August 31, is under investigation, with police suspecting insider involvement due to poor record-keeping and knowledge of the armoury's layout. Senior Army officers are being questioned as authorities probe how the breach occurred within the high-security military complex.
