Punjab Police Bust Cross-Border Arms Network, Seize Glocks in Linked Raids

Police say confessions point to foreign handlers directing local operatives, with digital forensics now used to map the supply chain.

Overview

  • Ferozepur Police arrested Gurpreet Singh alias Gori and Vikramjeet Singh alias Vicky and recovered six Glock 9mm pistols, four magazines and four live cartridges.
  • Investigators said Vikramjeet maintained direct links with a Pakistan-based smuggler and confessed to supplying weapons on handlers’ directions, helping trace an earlier AK-47 procurement.
  • SSOC Amritsar and CI Pathankot later arrested two more suspects tied to a gangster-terror module and recovered a 9mm Glock, with investigators citing a UK-based handler who tasked them with target recces.
  • A day earlier, SSOC Amritsar detained four members of a gangster module and seized a Glock and a .30 bore Star Mark pistol, with a preliminary link to a Portugal-based wanted gangster who arranged the delivery.
  • Technical analysis of seized devices is underway to map foreign handlers and local collaborators, with multi-state leads under review that include recent Gurugram shootings tied to a detained Punjab sarpanch.
