AMRITSAR, June 8 -- The anti-narcotics task force (ANTF) border range, Amritsar has arrested three associates of jailed kingpin Jugraj Singh and recovered six sophisticated foreign-made weapons smuggled from across the border from their possession, Punjab director general of police (DGP) Gaurav Yadav said here on Saturday. Those arrested have been identified as Rajan, a resident of Bhagtanwala Gate in Amritsar; Paramjit Singh, a resident of Heer Hall in Ghannupur, Amritsar; and Dinesh Kumar, a resident of Naraingarh, Amritsar. "The recovered weapons include two Glock 19X Pistols (made in Austria), two .30-bore pistols (made in Italy), one .30-bore Star Mark Pistol and one Baretta .30-bore Pistol (made in Italy). Apart from this, police teams have also impounded a motorcycle and scooter, both without number plates, which they were using to deliver the consignments," the DGP said. Yadav said that preliminary investigations revealed that the arrested accused persons were working under the directions of Jugraj Singh of Mode village in Amritsar, who is currently lodged in Central Jail at Goindwal, and actively running the smuggling racket through his advocate's munshi identified as Rajan. "The kingpin Jugraj Singh, who has been facing several criminal cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) and Arms Acts, is reportedly in contact with Pakistani drug traffickers from within the jail," the DGP said. The DGP said that these weapons were smuggled from across the border and were likely meant to be supplied to criminal elements in Punjab. Further investigations are on to establish forward and backward linkages in this case, he added. Sharing operation details, additional director general of police (ADGP) ANTF Nilabh Kishore said that the cops had received credible inputs about the trio's involvement in retrieving weapons on the directions of their jailed handler Jugraj. "Acting swiftly on the inputs, police teams launched an intelligence-led operation and apprehended accused persons from opposite Khalsa College in Amritsar and recovered weapon consignments from their possession," he said. The ADGP said that police teams will bring the accused Jugraj Singh from jail on a production warrant to carry out further investigation in this case and identify more persons involved in this smuggling racket. "More arrests and recoveries are likely in coming days," he said. A case under Section 25 of the Arms Act has been registered at Police Station ANTF, SAS Nagar, said the officials....
