Punjab Police have recovered a large cache of illegal arms and ammunition in a sweeping anti-gangster crackdown, marking a significant step in their ongoing campaign against organized crime networks in the state.
Officials confirmed that the seized weapons included sophisticated firearms, magazines, and live rounds, believed to have been supplied to criminal gangs operating across Punjab and neighboring regions.
The operation was carried out following intelligence inputs about gangsters stockpiling arms for targeted killings and extortion activities. Police teams raided multiple hideouts, leading to the recovery of the contraband.
Authorities emphasized that the crackdown is part of a broader strategy to dismantle gangster syndicates and curb the rising nexus between organized crime and terror networks.
Investigations are underway to trace the supply chain of the recovered arms and identify cross-border links, with officials reiterating their commitment to ensuring public safety and law enforcement in Punjab.
