Police were surprised to learn during the investigation that the accused is a BBA student. The recovery of an illegal weapon from a college student has raised concerns about the growing reach of illegal arms networks.
During interrogation, Farman allegedly revealed the name of his associate, Sheikh Habib Sheikh Hussain. Acting swiftly on the information, the Crime Branch conducted a raid in Kanhan and arrested the second accused.
Further questioning of the second suspect revealed that the country-made pistol had been procured through a truck driver. Following this disclosure, investigators have intensified efforts to identify the source of the weapon and trace the entire illegal arms supply chain.
Both accused are currently in police custody. According to the Crime Branch, the investigation is progressing rapidly, and officials expect to identify and arrest other individuals involved in the illegal firearms network.
