Chaibasa, Aug 29 (PTI) Four individuals were apprehended by police in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district following the discovery of arms and ammunition in their possession, according to an official statement.
Based on information that 22-year-old Birsa Paan and his associates were heading towards Goilkera with plans to collect levy and possibly commit serious crimes, Superintendent of Police Rakesh Ranjan organized two police raid teams to conduct a vehicle inspection late Wednesday, as per the police statement issued on Thursday.
At approximately 11:40 pm, law enforcement observed four young men on two motorcycles without number plates approaching from the Bandgaon market area and attempting to escape upon sighting the police. However, police successfully apprehended them following a pursuit, seizing two country-made pistols—one of which was automatic—a live cartridge, a mobile phone, two motorcycles, and a chit from the banned Naxal outfit PLFI, as detailed in the statement.
The police have filed a case under the relevant sections of the BNS, Arms Act, and CLA Act.
