Second Operation: Arms Recovery
In a separate incident, law enforcement officials conducted a raid in a suburban locality and arrested two other individuals. The police recovered a significant arsenal of illegal weapons, including automatic rifles, pistols, and ammunition. Preliminary investigations suggest that the suspects were planning to supply these weapons to criminal elements in the region.
