Patna’s law enforcement struck gold in their fight against illegal weapons with a major bust at a local woman’s home. What started as an intelligence tip led to the dramatic recovery of multiple guns and ammunition, sparking fears of a planned criminal act.
Mehndi Ganj police acted decisively, raiding the location and confiscating a revolver, desi katta, pistol, alongside two blank magazines, 15 rounds of live ammo, and a cellphone. The suspect, Seema Devi, offered no licenses and attributed the arsenal to her deceased husband, who dealt in real estate and died a year back.
Speaking to reporters, City SP East Parichay Kumar detailed the find: two weapons are homemade and illegal, one possibly factory-made but unlicensed. ‘She’s given no satisfactory explanation,’ he noted, emphasizing the team’s commitment to source-tracking.
This incident highlights the hidden dangers lurking in everyday neighborhoods. Despite no known criminal background for Seema, the police aren’t taking chances. She’s been arrested, and forensic checks on the weapons are underway. As Patna grapples with rising underworld activities, such operations serve as a stark reminder of vigilance needed to maintain city safety. Further revelations are expected as the probe intensifies.
