Punjab’s police chief announced on October 4 that Amritsar Rural Police had apprehended one person and recovered an AK-47 rifle, its magazine, live cartridges and two hand grenades in an illegal-arms investigation. The directly published statement does not give an exact date or time for the operation.

Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said an FIR had been registered at Gharinda police station under the Arms Act and the Explosive Substances Act. TV9 Punjabi and Rozana Spokesman also reported the recovery and case, drawing on the police account.

Police allege that the suspect was connected to foreign-based smugglers and involved in obtaining illegal weapons. The statement describes this as a preliminary finding and says investigators are tracing suppliers and recipients. The reviewed sources identify no completed court finding or response from the person held. Apprehension does not establish guilt.
