Chandigarh, Nov 11 (UNI) In a major breakthrough against cross-border crime, Ferozepur Police have dismantled a Pakistan-linked weapon smuggling network and arrested two key suspects, Gurpreet Singh alias Gori and Vikramjeet Singh alias Vicky, during an intelligence-led operation.
According to officials, the police seized six Glock 9mm pistols, four magazines, and four live cartridges from their possession.
