Trio Nabbed in Major Delhi Arms Syndicate Bust

Three individuals were arrested for allegedly supplying illegal arms in Delhi. Rajesh Choube, Aviral Sharma, and Jitender Singh were apprehended in a police operation. Large quantities of firearms and ammunition were seized. The syndicate had connections across Delhi, MP, and UP. Investigations are ongoing, police say.

Delhi police have dismantled a significant arms supply network with the arrest of three key individuals. The operation saw the apprehension of Rajesh Choube, Aviral Sharma, and Jitender Singh, alongside the seizure of multiple firearms and live cartridges.

Rajesh Choube was intercepted following a tip-off near the Sector-18 Metro Station in Rohini, leading to the recovery of five semi-automatic pistols and 200 live cartridges. Police investigations revealed Choube's longstanding involvement in illegal arms trade, tracing back to 2013.

Further arrests were made based on Choube's disclosures, with Aviral Sharma and Jitender Singh taken into custody in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan respectively. Both were found in possession of additional ammunition, implicating a deeper network of criminal activity across multiple states.
