Arrests and confiscated firearms

The Crime Branch unit from Farukhnagar, Gurugram, detained three young men believed to have plotted a major criminal act in Delhi aimed at sowing terror. During the raids, officers recovered two pistols of foreign origin together with five live rounds.

The individuals taken into custody are:

  • Abhay (alias Maulad), 20 – resident of Kheda Jhajhrola village.
  • Jatin (alias Jony), 29 – hailing from Patel Nagar, Sonipat.
  • Sagar – also a resident of Kheda Jhajhrola.

All three have been booked under the Arms Act at Sector‑10 police station.

How the arrests unfolded

Separate teams cornered each suspect at different locations. Abhay was nabbed near the Garhi flyover on the New Pataudi‑Gurugram Road, Jatin was apprehended in Farukhnagar, and Sagar was intercepted close to the KMP stretch in the same vicinity. While fleeing, Sagar attempted to leap from a flyover, broke his leg and was rushed to a hospital for treatment. Legal proceedings will resume once he is discharged.

Investigation into the source of the weapons

Interrogations indicated that Abhay received the pistols from Jatin. Police are now tracing how Jatin obtained the firearms, with early leads suggesting the guns passed through additional intermediaries.

Authorities suspect the trio maintained contact with contacts abroad, possibly receiving directions for illicit money recovery and extortion schemes. The purported plan involved carrying out a large‑scale crime in Delhi to create fear, though the exact targets remain under investigation.

Police mapping a broader network

Investigators are charting the full chain that supplied the weapons, scrutinising phone and digital records to identify other participants in the alleged conspiracy.

Records also show that Jatin is already facing a case in Delhi under the Excise Act, prompting officials to review his past dealings as part of the ongoing probe.

ACP Naveen Sharma stressed that the enquiry is ongoing, aiming to uncover the origin of the firearms, the larger syndicate behind them, and any further criminal connections of the arrested men. Updates will be provided as questioning proceeds and new leads are verified.
