After the raid, when the police team left a shop named ‘Bhuiya Motors’, two masked men left two cartons inside the shop and ran away. When the store employees reported the matter to the police, two cartons were immediately searched. Two country-made pipe guns and two fresh 12-bore cartridges were recovered from there. Later, five people involved in the incident were arrested on Wednesday night.

According to the police, analysis of CCTV (closed circuit camera) footage and preliminary investigation revealed that the masked men collected two cartons from another shop named ‘Toyota Plus’ in the market and left them at ‘Bhuiya Motors’. Two cartons of weapons were brought from a white Mitsubishi Pajero car.

Quoting the preliminary interrogation of the arrested persons, the police said that the organized search was planned to implicate the opponents and harass the police for market capture and dominance. However, due to the timely and professional role of the police, the conspiracy was foiled. A weapons case has been registered in Sutrapur police station in that incident.
