NEW DELHI, Nov 22: Delhi Police have busted a drone-based arms supply chain allegedly linked to Pakistan’s ISI, arresting four individuals and recovering ten foreign-made pistols. The operation marks a major breakthrough in efforts to curb cross-border smuggling networks.
Officials stated that the accused were part of a syndicate using drones to transport weapons across the border before distributing them through local channels. The arrests followed a coordinated investigation by the Special Cell, which tracked the movement of consignments and intercepted the suspects.
Police confirmed that the seized pistols were of foreign origin and intended for delivery to criminal groups in the region. The recovery highlights the growing use of drones in illegal arms trafficking and the need for advanced countermeasures.
Investigators revealed that the network had established links with handlers across the border, with drones being deployed to bypass traditional security checks. The arrests are expected to provide crucial leads on the wider supply chain and its connections.
Authorities emphasized that the crackdown demonstrates Delhi Police’s commitment to dismantling organized crime and preventing the misuse of technology for unlawful activities. Further investigations are underway to identify additional operatives and trace the origins of the recovered weapons.
