Officials said the module was part of a larger cross-border network that sourced advanced firearms through illegal arms dealers operating across multiple countries, including Pakistan. The syndicate was actively supplying high-end weapons to criminal elements, posing a serious threat to national security.
During the crackdown, police seized a substantial cache of arms and ammunition, including 21 foreign-made pistols, sub-machine guns, and automatic firearms, along with more than 200 live cartridges. Among the recovered weapons were advanced PX-5.7 pistols, typically associated with Special Forces, indicating the scale and sophistication of the smuggling network.
Authorities stated that further investigation is underway to trace the wider network and identify additional links in the international arms supply chain.
