Delhi police have apprehended two members of an interstate illegal arms supply gang involved in procuring and distributing weapons from Madhya Pradesh to various parts of the country.

The gang sourced the illegal firearms from Khargone, Madhya Pradesh, and sold them to end-users at approximately Rs 30,000 per piece. Acting on a tip-off received on March 14, the police intercepted Rahim and Vishal near Burari Chowk, Outer Ring Road, Delhi, as they were about to deliver a consignment to a contact in Shahdara, Delhi.
