Madhya Pradesh Police have arrested 12 individuals involved in the illegal sale and distribution of firearms in the state. The arrests follow a series of raids conducted in Indore, Gwalior, and Bhopal, where authorities seized several unlicensed weapons and ammunition. The individuals arrested are believed to have been involved in the illegal arms trade, which is a growing concern in the state.
The police have emphasized that the illegal arms market not only poses a threat to public safety but also contributes to organized crime and violence. In addition to the arrests, the police have pledged to tighten control over illegal firearm sales by increasing surveillance and conducting frequent raids.
