Six persons, including two women, hailing from Muzaffarnagar in U.P. and travelling on the Samjhauta Express were arrested after 11 pistols were seized from them. They were their way back from Pakistan.
The pistols were found concealed in 11 meat cutter machines during customs check at the Attari Railway Station on Friday, Gurdev Singh, Deputy Commissioner, Customs said. “Suspicion arose after the machines were subjected to X-ray. They were cut by cutters and the pistols were found.” The six are now being interrogated, he said.
Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi claimed in October last that Pakistan’s ISI was trying to recruit riot-affected youngsters of Muzaffarnagar.
