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.
