NEW DELHI: With the arrest of two persons, including a retired BSF constable, Delhi Police today claimed to have busted a module which used to procure arms licenses from Nagaland and Jammu and Kashmir for their clients by allegedly submitting forged documents.
The accused have been identified as Ram Kishan (55), a sepoy with the Border Security Force who opted for retirement in 2011, and Yoginder Singh (50), who is in the business of oil tankers, police said.
On the basis of inputs, Delhi Police’s Crime Branch took up the matter and a list was sent to the Licensing Authority Nagaland for verification and report.
The authority’s report disclosed that 65 people, whose names were on the list, had procured arms licenses by forged documents, showing that they were residents of Dimapur in Nagaland, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ravindra Yadav said.
It further came to light that some of them continued holding those licenses, despite the authorities cancelling them. (AGENCIES)
