Delhi Man Arrested for Planting Pistols to Falsely Implicate Relative in Arms Act CasePreviousNext

A 28-year-old Delhi man, Mohammad Waseem, was arrested for planting three country-made pistols at his brother-in-law Mohammad Ashraf's rented house to falsely implicate him under the Arms Act. Waseem, who runs a mobile phone repair shop in Sunder Nagri, reportedly held a grudge against Ashraf for marrying his sister-in-law against family wishes. Using the fake name "Arjun," Waseem tipped off police, leading to multiple recoveries of firearms and subsequent cases. Investigations into the conspiracy and earlier arrests are ongoing.
