Arrests and weapon seizure
The Crime Branch unit at Farukhnagar, Gurugram, detained three young suspects believed to have plotted a large‑scale terror‑related act in Delhi intended to sow fear among the public. During the operation, officers seized two imported pistols along with five live cartridges.
The individuals taken into custody are:
- Abhay (alias Maulad), 20 – resident of Kheda Jhajhrola village.
- Jatin (alias Jony), 29 – hailing from Patel Nagar, Sonipat.
- Sagar – also from Kheda Jhajhrola.
All three have been booked under the Arms Act at the Sector‑10 police station.
How the arrests unfolded
Separate investigative teams cornered each suspect at different locations. Abhay was apprehended near the Garhi flyover on the New Pataudi‑Gurugram Road, Jatin was seized in Farukhnagar, and Sagar was intercepted close to the KMP expressway in the same vicinity. While attempting to flee, Sagar tried to jump from a flyover, broke his leg and was subsequently taken to a hospital for treatment. Further legal steps will be taken after his discharge.
Tracing the source of the firearms
Interrogations indicated that Abhay received the pistols from Jatin. Investigators are now focusing on how Jatin procured the weapons, with early leads pointing to a chain of intermediaries.
Police suspect the trio maintained contacts abroad, possibly receiving directives for illicit money recovery and extortion schemes. The alleged plan targeted a major criminal act in Delhi to create panic, although the specific intended targets are still under investigation.
Expanding the investigation
Authorities are mapping the full supply chain that delivered the firearms to the accused, reviewing communication records and hunting for additional participants in the conspiracy.
Records also show that Jatin faces a pending case in Delhi under the Excise Act, prompting officials to scrutinize his past dealings as part of the ongoing probe.
ACP Naveen Sharma emphasized that the investigation remains active, aiming to uncover the origin of the weapons, the broader network, and any further criminal connections the arrested individuals may have. Updates will follow as new leads are verified.
