Police in Gumla thwart a major crime plot, seizing an AK-56 and other weapons while arresting one suspect.
Gumla, October 29 (Daily Kiran) : Authorities in Gumla, Jharkhand, successfully thwarted a significant criminal plot, recovering a cache of deadly weapons, including an AK-56 rifle and a homemade carbine. The operation took place in the Sisai police area, where officers conducted a raid on a red car, leading to the arrest of one suspect while others escaped into the darkness of nearby woods.
Superintendent of Police Harish Bin Jama disclosed at a press conference that police received a tip-off regarding Rohit Sharma and four to five accomplices allegedly visiting the home of Rajendra Yadav in Toli village. The information indicated that they were armed with illegal and dangerous weapons, preparing for a serious criminal act.
In response to the sensitive nature of the intelligence, a special raid team was formed under the leadership of Sub-Divisional Police Officer Suresh Prasad Yadav. The team included Circle Inspector Vinay Kumar and other officers from Sisai and Bharno police stations. Upon arriving near Toli village, they spotted a suspicious red car.
According to police reports, the vehicle contained four to five individuals. Upon noticing the police vehicle, the suspects panicked and attempted to flee. Officers pursued them, but most managed to escape into the surrounding darkness and dense forest. Following this, police conducted a thorough search of the abandoned car.
During the search, they discovered a homemade carbine, magazines, ammunition, and other suspicious materials inside the vehicle. Police arrested Rajendra Yadav on-site, and during interrogation, he led them to another location where the AK-56 rifle and additional ammunition were recovered.
Investigators are now working to determine the origins of the advanced weapons and identify the individuals involved in this criminal network. Authorities are actively raiding potential hideouts to apprehend the main suspects who remain at large.
Superintendent Harish Bin Jama praised the officers and personnel involved in the operation, stating that their swift and vigilant actions averted a significant criminal incident.
