This Delhi builder would travel to France, Austria and Germany and return with unusual souvenirs. These were dummy pistols and revolvers that were almost impossible to differentiate from real ones. If he is to be believed, he smuggled the weapons out of the airport exactly like they do it in the movies. He claims he would first fly into Amritsar, and then to Delhi with his aide, who would join him in Amritsar. While he, himself, walked out hassles- and baggage-free, his aide would make it out of IGI with the dummy pistols, using his "connections".
Their free run ended when, in the run-up to Independence Day, police stumbled upon one of the consignments during heavy security checks in southwest Delhi. On Friday, the special cell rounded up Manjeet Singh from Paschim Vihar. He was arrested.
Special commissioner of police S N Shrivastava said his team had received an input that Singh would come to a five-star hotel in the area. A trap was laid and Singh was apprehended. On August 12, police had recovered a cache of 146 pistols, 40 revolvers, 8,700 cartridges, one 12 bore gun and nine daggers from a white Nano car. Vijay Kumar and Ranjan Paswan, who were carrying the weapons in the Nano, were arrested and booked under Arms Act.
