DG P Gaurav Yadav Announces Zero‑Tolerance Drive Against Illegal Weapon Trade

Deputy General Police Gaurav Yadav used his X account on July 1 to reaffirm Punjab police’s uncompromising approach to illegal arms smuggling. Citing a recent bust in Amritsar that led to the seizure of seven pistols, forty live cartridges, and the detention of two suspects, Yadav emphasized that the gang had been coordinating with overseas traffickers through digital platforms. An FIR has been filed at Sultanwind police station, and a wider investigation is underway to identify all links in the cross‑border network. The statement underscores the state’s zero‑tolerance mantra aimed at curbing organized crime, weapon trafficking, and any criminal enterprises that operate beyond state borders.
