Police in Rajasthan recovered a cache of explosives and firearms that had been trafficked from Pakistan, and detained two suspects linked to the operation.
Rajasthan police announced the recovery of a substantial cache of explosives and small arms that were being smuggled across the India‑Pakistan border. The seizure was made during a routine check at a checkpoint in the state, where authorities intercepted the contraband before it could be distributed further.
Two individuals suspected of coordinating the illegal transfer were taken into custody at the scene. Investigators said the suspects had links to a cross‑border network that routinely moves weapons and explosive material into Indian territory.
Senior police officials emphasized that the operation underscores ongoing security challenges along the western frontier and assured that further inquiries will aim to dismantle the broader smuggling ring.
The recovered items are being catalogued as evidence, and the two arrested persons will face charges under the Arms Act and relevant anti‑terrorism statutes.
