Madhya Pradesh Police have seized illegal pistols from smugglers in Bhopal and detained four persons in the case.
Police personnel were conducting a regular check at a post when they caught a person with pistols on Wednesday.
"Our station officials were conducting checks at T.T. Nagar police post when they caught a man named Kuldip and seized illegal home-made pistols from him. On inquiry, they got to know that another partner, Dilip, was standing elsewhere and had weapons too. Police went there and seized home-made and other pistols from him. On inquiry, police also detained two persons named Arvind and Radhe Shyam," said Superintendent of Police, R.D. Bhardwaj.
