In a major operation, Guwahati Police have arrested a 27-year-old man and seized a suspicious cache of items from his residence in the Kahilipara area of the city.
The accused, identified as Sahil Khan, is a resident of Synergy Imperial, Kahilipara. Police search his home under Section 185 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and made several alarming discoveries.
Among the seized items were:
- A white Toyota Fortuner SUV without a registration number
- Four empty cartridges suspected to be from a 9 mm pistol
- One empty cartridge believed to be from a Self-Loading Rifle (SLR)
- Two live rounds, also suspected to be 9 mm
Further investigation is going on. Police recovered a suspected fake ID card of a local media outlet named “News24 Assam” and a bank stamp marked with “Bank of India” and “Dispur Branch,” from his house.
The police are currently probing the source and intended use of the seized items. Investigators are also looking into possible links with a larger network or any criminal conspiracy.
