Police in Jalandhar say a major target‑killing plot was thwarted and two men returning from Dubai were seized with two pistols.
Jalandhar police disclosed that a planned target killing attempt was intercepted earlier this week. Investigators traced the plot to two individuals who had recently returned from Dubai. The suspects were apprehended in Jalandhar while in possession of two pistols, which are believed to have been intended for the failed operation.
According to the police statement, the arrest was made after surveillance confirmed the suspects' arrival from the United Arab Emirates. The firearms were recovered and forwarded to the forensic lab for examination. No injuries or casualties have been reported in connection with the thwarted plot.
Authorities have opened a criminal investigation under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Arms Act. The two men are currently in police custody, and further details will be released as the case progresses.
