Bihar Police executed a high-stakes raid in Patna, dismantling what could have been a catastrophic arms deal. Notorious figure Sundaram, shot in the leg during the firefight, was among three gang members nabbed in Fatuha. The motherlode? More than 1200 live bullets and illicit firearms, hinting at preparations for a significant criminal enterprise.
Patna SSP Kartiikey K Sharma detailed the sequence: Fatuha station received credible intel on an arms supply gang. A specialized unit mobilized instantly, ambushing the suspects. Caught off-guard, the criminals unleashed a barrage and bolted, prompting precise police retaliation that wounded Sundaram and compelled surrenders.
Traced to Chhapra in Saran, the arrested trio’s backgrounds are under scrutiny. ‘The seizure includes over 1200 rounds and pistols,’ the SSP noted. ‘Source tracking and network mapping are underway.’ This operation not only averted potential violence but also peels back layers of Bihar’s shadowy arms underworld.
The event reverberates as a triumph for proactive policing amid rising organized crime. With the massive ammo cache secured, investigators press on to identify buyers and suppliers, fortifying defenses against future threats in the region.
