Arms, cartridges dug up from Punjab border village

FEROZEPUR - Arms and cartridges buried in a field near a village in this border district of Punjab were seized Saturday, police said.

“Working on a secret tip off from our source, police dug out one AK-56, one AK-47, two .30 bore pistols and around 140 cartridges from an open field in village Bareke near Ferozepur town,” district police chief Surinderpal Singh Parmar told IANS.

No one has been arrested so far, he added.

“We have also got some inputs from our intelligence wing and our own investigation is under process. As the border is quite near so we cannot deny the possibility of involvement of international criminals. However, things will become clear once our investigation is over,” Parmar added.

Ferozepur is around 270 km from Chandigarh.
