Bangalore police bust 'D' gang's gun racket |
Bangalore Police on Monday arrested two gun
runners allegedly behind the Dawood Ibrahim gang in the city. The action comes
days after the arrest of three other Dawood gangsters from Jhankhand and Uttar
Pradesh who were involved in gun running as well. The arrested were identified
as Mohammed Ayub (28) of Banashankari area in the city limit, Fairoz (32) and
Ansar (22) of Hoskote in Bangalore rural District. The police have recovered one
pistol, three revolvers and 21 rounds of ammunition from the arrested persons.
According to the police the three arrested men set up an arms manufacturing unit
in the outskirts and were manufactured guns under the tag USA. The Home Department
feels that the arrests could just be the tip of the iceberg of the underworld
menace in Bangalore. Earlier in September, Bangalore Police busted a gunrunning
racket and arrested Hussain Sab from Gadag in Karnataka, Nawab Barkatulla of Bihar
and Mohammed Siraj of Jharkhand. The three had taken shelter in a madrassah near
Chitradurga in central part of the state and procured arms from Bihar and sold
them to various gangs. They provided arms and ammunition to underworld, including
Ravi Pujari gang. Bangalore City police commissioner, Shankar Bidari then recommended
to hand over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as city crime
branch smelled the involvement of a large inter state network in arms racket. |
