    The Special Task Force (STF) of West Bengal arrested a notorious illegal arms manufacturer from Bihar on Saturday. Acting on a tip-off, the STF apprehended 40-year-old Md Firdous Alam, also known as Laddu, a resident of Mafassil in Munger district, a region long known as a hub for illegal gun-making.

    The arrest took place near the HP petrol pump at Palasdiha, along the Asansol-Gourandi Road, opposite the old Burnpur cement factory, under the jurisdiction of the Asansol North Police Station.

    The STF seized a large cache of illegal firearms and ammunition from the suspect, who is reportedly a veteran in the trade of manufacturing semi-automatic illegal firearms. Alam had travelled to West Bengal to deliver the weapons himself when he was intercepted.

    During the operation, the Special Task Force recovered a significant cache of illegal arms and ammunition. The seized items included five single-shot pipe guns, two 9 mm pistols along with two matching magazines, and two 7 mm pistols accompanied by four magazines.

    In total, six pistol magazines were recovered—two compatible with 9 mm pistols and four suited for 7 mm pistols. Additionally, officers seized four live cartridges of 9 mm calibre and ten live cartridges of 7.65 mm calibre.

    A case has been registered at Asansol North Police Station, and a detailed investigation is underway by the STF.

    Authorities suspect that the arms were being supplied to various criminal networks operating in West Bengal and possibly beyond.
