AMRITSAR, Nov. 17 -- The Amritsar police dismantled a Pakistan-linked arms and narco network with the arrest of five persons and recovered six sophisticated pistols along with 1.01 kg heroin from their possession, said Punjab director general of police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav here on Sunday. Those arrested have been identified as Akash Masih and Prince, both residents of Pandori village in Amritsar rural, Karanbir Singh alias Karan, a resident of Chaugawan village in Amritsar rural, Sukhwinder Singh, a resident of Hetampura village in Amritsar rural, and Gurbhej Singh alias Bheja, a resident of Lahian village in Tarn Taran. The recovered pistols include five .30-bore and one 9MM Glock, police said. DGP Yadav said preliminary investigation has revealed that the arrested accused were coordinating with Pakistan-based handlers via social media applications to collect and deliver illegal weapons and narcotics within Punjab. "All accused belong to villages located in close proximity to the Pakistan border and were receiving consignments as per the directions of their handlers," the DGP said, adding that further investigation is ongoing to establish backward and forward linkages in this case and dismantle the entire network. Amritsar commissioner of police (CP) Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said that during a checkpoint near Chheharta, police teams apprehended accused Akash Masih and Prince, and recovered one .30-bore pistol and one Glock 9mm pistol from them....
