Haryana STF Seizes 25,000 Cartridges, Arrests Five in Interstate Smuggling Case
Haryana Police's Special Task Force seized 25,000 live cartridges from two vehicles near Rohad toll plaza in Jhajjar, arresting five suspects from Badaun, Uttar Pradesh. The cartridges, marked 'KF' and used in small handguns and rifles, were allegedly destined for illegal arms manufacturers and criminal gangs across UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal. Investigations link the seizure to a similar Bihar STF operation and suggest an interstate smuggling network operating for three years. Authorities are probing licensed gun houses for possible diversion of ammunition.
