Patna, March 13: In a significant crackdown on illegal arms in Nawada district, police seized an AK-47 rifle, two additional rifles, and a large cache of ammunition during a raid in the Delwa village of the Rajouli police station area.
This operation was initiated based on a tip-off received by Nawada Superintendent of Police Abhinav Dhiman. Upon receiving the information, police swiftly conducted a raid in Delwa village, resulting in the arrest of one suspect.
According to police reports, anti-social elements in the forested areas of Rajouli were extorting money from laborers and contractors under the guise of security or levies.
