  • Tracing showed the weapons were routed through Pakistan for air-drops into Punjab, according to investigators, with the network allegedly using drones for transport.
  • Seizures included one foreign-made pistol, 92 live cartridges, two Chinese-made grenades, and five pistols during the operation.
  • The Crime Branch is mapping mobile data, bank transactions and social media trails to trace beneficiaries and widen the inquiry into past deliveries to Delhi and neighbouring states.
  • Officials allege the Pakistan-based handler used virtual numbers routed from Pakistan and employed a two-drone tactic, while preliminary probes link Mandeep and the Sonu Khatri gang to criminals Gogi and Kapil Sangwan.
