Mumbai: Three held for possession of foreign weapon

MUMBAI: Three men who work for film production houses have been arrested by Dindoshi police for possession of weapons.

Police said one of the accused was upset with a debtor who had not returned an amount of Rs 6 lakh and he bought the weapons from Madhya Pradesh to threaten the debtor. He later handed over the weapons to his co-accused for safekeeping.

The accused have been identified as Gurujeet Singh, 31, Nikunjkumar Patel, 26, and Prakash Santani, 32.

They were arrested on January 10 after police received a tip-off that a foreign-made pistol and live round was in their possession.

A police team laid a trap and took the trio into custody with the weapons which are worth Rs 1.02 lakh.
