Barrackpur police arrest notorious arms smuggler Abhijeet Dev alias 'Aryan'

The Barrackpur Police have achieved a significant breakthrough in their fight against illegal arms smuggling, arresting notorious criminal Abhijeet Dev alias 'Aryan' from the Ichhapur area. Aryan is believed to be a key figure in a network that supplied illegal weapons from outside districts to various parts of Barrackpur, a region that has seen increasing complaints about arms流入.

For some time, concerns about the influx of illegal arms into Barrackpur had been raised by various opposition leaders, including the BJP, who had drawn the attention of the Barrackpur Police Commissioner to the issue. Following these complaints, the Commissioner had instructed police stations to form specialized teams and launch targeted campaigns. Acting on precise intelligence, the Noapara police station successfully traced Aryan to a secret hideout and apprehended him.

According to police officials, Aryan and his gang have long been involved in arms smuggling and other criminal activities, providing illegal weapons to anti-social elements at the local level. His arrest is expected to significantly disrupt the arms supply chain in the Barrackpur area. Investigators are now interrogating Aryan to identify his contacts within the network and ascertain the source of the weapons.

Authorities anticipate that more arrests connected to this illegal arms ring may follow in the coming days. The Barrackpur Police Commissionerate's unwavering stance against crime and arms smuggling has been reaffirmed by this decisive action, signaling a commitment to restoring safety and order in the region.
