On January 10, 2025, Bihar Police executed a successful raid on an illegal firearms manufacturing unit located in the Karbi Anglong district. During the operation, police seized several unlicensed weapons that were being secretly produced without proper legal authorization. In addition to the firearms, two individuals involved in the illegal operations were arrested. This raid is part of the state’s broader efforts to tackle the growing menace of illegal arms trade that has often fueled violent crimes in the region.
The Bihar Police’s dismantling of this manufacturing unit is an important step toward curbing the proliferation of illegal weapons, which are often used in criminal activities. This raid serves as a warning to other illegal arms manufacturers and traffickers that law enforcement agencies are intensifying their crackdown on unlawful weapon production and distribution.
