MP-made weapons routed to Punjab gangsters via Uttar Pradesh suppliers

Law enforcement agencies have uncovered a network that moves weapons manufactured in Madhya Pradesh to criminal elements operating in Punjab. The trail points to suppliers based in Uttar Pradesh who act as intermediaries, facilitating the transfer of firearms across state borders. Authorities say the arms are being used by local gangs involved in extortion, drug trafficking and other illicit activities. The investigation, reported by Amar Ujala from Mohali, highlights growing concerns over inter‑state arms trafficking and its impact on public safety. Police in the three states are coordinating to dismantle the supply chain and prevent further distribution of illegal weapons.
