Youth arrested with country-made pistol and three live cartridges in Mohali

Following the recovery, a case was registered at the Phase 1 police station under sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act based on the ASI’s statement.

“The accused has a prior criminal record. In 2025, Satnam was arrested by Sohana police with a country-made pistol. He was currently out on bail in that case. His arrest again with an illegal weapon has raised suspicion regarding his activities,” the ASI said.

The investigating officer said, “Police are conducting intensive interrogation to ascertain the source of the weapon and the purpose for which it was intended to be used. The accused was produced before a district court, which granted the police two days’ remand.”

The officer said that during the remand period, efforts would be made to trace the arms supply network and probe his possible involvement in other criminal activities.
