A team led by CCB Economic Offences Wing (EOW) Police Inspector Hemanth Kumar M, along with two Police Sub-Inspectors and local support from Koh-e-Fiza police in Madhya Pradesh, apprehended Irfan from his residence.
During the raid, Police recovered three country-made pistols, one disassembled revolver and two live rounds of ammunition from Irfan’s house. CCB had previously recovered one pistol and 50 live rounds from Alam and Masood.
“Irfan had only supplied to Alam, which has been revealed in our investigation so far. We believe that there's another person behind Irfan who's likely involved in large-scale manufacturing of illegal arms. He's on our radar,” DH quoted CCB officials as saying.
Further investigation is underway, police said.
