MOTIHARI : In a significant breakthrough along the sensitive Indo-Nepal border belt, the Bihar Police has uncovered an alleged interstate arms smuggling module operating in East Champaran district.
Acting on specific intelligence inputs, a joint team led by the Dhaka police carried out a raid that resulted in the seizure of two pistols, a country-made firearm, two magazines and five live cartridges, according to an official statement issued by the office of the Superintendent of Police, Motihari.
Two women were arrested during the operation, while efforts are underway to trace and apprehend other members of the network believed to have links across the border region.
The operation assumes significance given the strategic and security sensitivity of the Indo-Nepal frontier, where illegal movement of arms and contraband has remained a recurring concern for enforcement agencies. Officials indicated that sustained surveillance and coordinated field intelligence played a crucial role in the success of the raid.
Police sourfces attributed the swift action to the active monitoring of Sikrahana DSP and the close operational coordination maintained under the leadership of East Champaran Superintendent of Police Swarna Prabhat. The involvement of STF personnel alongside local police units reflected a multi-agency approach aimed at dismantling organised criminal networks in the border districts.
Investigators are now examining possible interstate and cross-border connections linked to the recovered weapons.
