Craze for foreign arms behind Mansa racket
Tribune News Service

Chandigarh, May 2
Punjab is becoming a retail outlet for several small arms factories in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. These factories fulfill the Punjabi yearning for arms with ‘made to order’ Webley Scott, Smith and Wesson or Colt revolvers and pistols.

The Mansa police has busted an inter-state gang and recovered 270 revolvers and pistols, all of them illegal but with inscribed names and numbers of foreign manufacturers.

It has arrested 15 persons, including seven police personnel, for allegedly supplying cartridges from police armouries to gang members who would sell these to Maoists in other states. As many as 6,000 cartridges stolen from police armouries and shown as expended during training exercises have also been recovered. The gang sold hundreds of small arms weapons to unsuspecting Punjabis at rates varying from Rs 80,000 to Rs 2 lakh. The weapons cost the gang members around Rs 35,000 each.

Punjab police chief PS Gill said the state would get in touch with the Union Home Ministry to ascertain if the gang had operatives in other states as well. This needed to be investigated by a central agency. The state on its part would check the records of arms dealers to determine the extent of the racket.

The racket was unearthed by Mansa SSP HS Mann, who was the hero at the police headquarters here with ADGP (Intelligence) Suresh Arora offering him his chair at a meeting addressed by the DGP. The DGP said Mann started investigating complaints that illegal weapons were freely available in Mansa and eventually zeroed in on gunhouse owners sponsoring the racket in league with those running illegal factories in UP.

The police have arrested gunhouse owners Mahesh Kumar (Indian Gunhouse, Mansa), Anil Midha (Hindustan Gunhouse, Sirsa) and Nand Kishore (Tammana Armoury, Moga) besides Arvinder Singh Pappu of Ludhiana.

After buying fake weapons these gunhouse owners would get the documents and bills forged from Chiranji Lal and Sons (Thanesar) and Harkamaljit Singh (Avtar Gunhouse, Amritsar).

The Mansa police has also unearthed an illegal gun factory in Firozabad, which was supplying small arms to Anil Midha, the kingpin of the gang. Midha possessed six specially designed vehicles, which were used to supply cartridges outside the state and bring back weapons.

Midha brought cartridges from a number of gunhouse owners at Jalalabad, Moga and Abohar. The cartridges were purchased for Rs 8 each from police personnel in charge of armouries and sold for Rs 30 each outside the state.

The police has also arrested a woman for preparing fake bills for the arms.

Dear IFGians,
Need your help with a query which i have. I had sent draft to Field Gun Factory Kanpur on 12th of August, received a letter from them on 22nd August stating that collection date of the revolver is 12th of Oct and the letter also stated to check on internet to know the exact date. Nothing on internet till today and it looks like that i will not be able to visit Kanpur on 12th Oct owing to some other work. My understanding was that if you cannot collect it on the due date then you may go in on any other day post the due date to collect you arm. Today i called up FGF to confirm the same and the lady who answered my call said that rules have changed, now if you do not collect your weapon on due date then a new date will be allocated to you which will be atleast a month away.
On asking if FGF will send some notification she just said that give us a call once the due date goes by and we will give you a new date and even before i could ask anything else the phone was banged down.
Do any of you know if any rule has been changed? i tried searching IOF website but no information on the same is available. I tried FGF again but no one answered the phone. I suspect that who ever answered my call just gave me some vague answer but need to confirm the same.
thanks in advance.
Regards,
