Overview

  • The Crime Branch arrested five suspects—Harvinder Singh, Sonu Singh, Mubin, Sher Mohmad alias Sheru, and Juber—after coordinated raids across four villages near Pahadi in Deeg, Rajasthan.
  • Investigators seized 10 country-made pistols, a 12-bore rifle, 17 live cartridges, and dismantled a makeshift arms workshop atop a hill.
  • Juber, a 28-year-old ironsmith, is accused of leading the network alongside his uncle Mubin, a 62-year-old manufacturer active since 2013.
  • Officers encountered armed resistance during the three-day operation but secured all arrests without sustaining casualties.
  • The bust follows months of surveillance and an Arms Act case triggered by the March arrest of gang member Rohit Gahlot.
