The West Bengal Police's Special Task Force recovered a massive cache of arms and ammunition and arrested four individuals from Sandeshkhali in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district, linked to Trinamool Congress strongman Sheikh Shahjahan.
Shahjahan was arrested in February 2024 for masterminding an attack on Enforcement Directorate officials in January 2024.
Police initially arrested three men, allegedly close associates of Shahjahan, who led them to the first spot at Sarberia, where five firearms were recovered from an abandoned house.
Acting on their information, police raided another location in a village in Manipur, recovering 13 firearms and ammunition from beneath a fish farm.
Police have recovered 10 long firearms and eight small arms along with 56 live cartridges.
