Andhra Pradesh: Bullets, rifle parts found in the houses of army jawan’s relatives

Police officials said that 42 bullets, including some used in Kalashnikovs, and parts of rifles and empty magazines were found in her house. Officials said that Shaikh, who is posted in Haryana, was also picked up for questioning Monday morning. Officials are investigating why Rasool, whose job is to repair rifles, smuggled out so many bullets, empty magazines and rifle-parts from his workplace which is illegal, and for what purpose.

“As he is working with the Army for nine years, we have to find out if this is all he has accumulated or there was more which he sold-off or gave to someone. We have to ascertain what was his intention behind accumulating them,” an official said.
