Former Agniveer arrested with illegal pistol, 12 live cartridges in Haryana's Hisar

Hisar, Nov 9 (UNI) A man who allegedly left the Indian Army midway through his service under the Agnipath recruitment scheme has been arrested in Haryana's Hisar district after police recovered an illegal .32-bore pistol, two magazines and 12 live cartridges from his possession, officials said.
The accused, identified as Sachin, a resident of Jakhod Khera village, was arrested by the CIA Mill Gate team during an operation on Diwali, police said.
Sub-Inspector Jagdish, in-charge of CIA Mill Gate, said the police team was conducting an investigation in the area when it received specific information about a man allegedly possessing an illegal firearm.
Acting on the tip-off, the team intercepted Sachin in Jakhod Khera village and searched him. The search led to the recovery of a .32-bore pistol, two magazines and 12 live cartridges, police said. Investigators also uncovered details of the accused's alleged military background during preliminary questioning. "Preliminary interrogation revealed that the accused had joined the Army under the Agniveer scheme but left his service midway and returned home," police said in a statement.
However, the circumstances under which Sachin left military service, including whether his departure was formally authorised, were not immediately disclosed. Police have registered a case against him under the Arms Act at Sadar police station in Hisar.
Investigators are now seeking to establish where the firearm and ammunition were obtained, whether other individuals were involved in supplying them and whether the weapon had previously been used in any criminal activity. Police said the accused would be produced before a court and that his remand would be sought for further questioning. UNI KK CDS
