Acting on a tip-off, the ATS targeted Ramshabd Yadav and Sanjay Yadav, who were involved in the sale and purchase of illegal arms from other states, an official statement said.
”On March 18 (Saturday), the ATS field squad in Azamgarh arrested Ramshabd Yadav and his associate Sanjay Yadav who were bringing illegal arms from Madhya Pradesh. As many as 10 illegal .32 caliber pistols, two live cartridges, ammunition, two mobile phones, a car and Rs 2,700 cash were recovered from them,” the ATS said in a statement.
