The Special Task Force (STF) of the Odisha Crime Branch raided an illegal gun manufacturing unit in the Bayalis Mouza area of Cuttack on Thursday.
Acting on a tip-off, the STF conducted a sudden raid and seized more than 30 pistols. Four individuals were arrested in connection with the case.
The illegal unit was operating clandestinely, posing a significant threat to public safety. The timely intervention by the STF has prevented potential criminal activities that could have stemmed from the widespread distribution of these illicit firearms.
This successful operation underscores the relentless efforts of law enforcement agencies in combating the illegal arms trade in the region. Further investigation is underway to uncover the full extent of the network involved in this illegal enterprise.
