The National Investigation Agency (NIA) nowadays arrested Rajeev Ranjan Singh, alias Chunnu Singh, in connection with stealing weapon components from the Central Ordnance Depot in Jabalpur.
According to an NIA spokesman, incriminating proof has been located which suggests Chunnu Singh’s involvement as a conduit of arms in unique components of the nation.
To present a bit of background to the case, 3 AK series weapons had been recovered in Bihar’s Munger from the home of Rizwana Begum, accused in the case. The case was initially registered as FIR no. 323/2018, dated 07.09.2018 at the mufassil police station.
The case was later taken up and re-registered by the NIA for investigation.
The investigation in the case has revealed that AK series weapons had been stolen and smuggled from the sheds of the Central Ordnance Depot in Jabalpur by serving as retired personnel of the depot.
The stolen arms had been trafficked by way of dealers primarily based in Bihar’s Munger, following which they had been sooner or later sold to many Naxalite organisations and criminal syndicates.
