Large cache of weapons sent from Pakistan seized in Pathankot (Punjab)

Seized weapons cache

Pathankot (Punjab) – Punjab’s Pathankot Police, in coordination with central intelligence agencies, have recovered a large cache of arms and ammunition from the border area of Narot Jaimal Singh, close to the India-Pakistan border.

The consignment is believed to have been sent from Pakistan to disrupt peace in the state. The seized consignment included 3 AK-47 rifles, 5 magazines, 2 pistols (Turkish and Chinese-made), 2 magazines, and 98 live cartridges.

DIG Border Range Sandeep Goyal said that intelligence inputs indicate the consignment was sent by Rinda, a criminal-turned-terrorist operating from Pakistani soil. He is believed to be working with full support from Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the Inter Service Intelligence (ISI).

Editorial Perspective

If such weapon consignments are seized and the Pakistan-based elements sending them are eliminated, many of India’s security-related problems would come to an end.
