A gunrunner from West Bengal's Murshidabad district was arrested here on Sunday and two pistols and ammunition seized from him, the Kolkta Police said.
"Kurban Saraji, a resident of Jalangi, was arrested from Kolkata's Malancha Bypass area while on way to deliver firearms in the city," an officer from Sonarpur police station said.
The police officer said a close vigil at entry and exit points to the city was maintained after a tip-off.
Two 7mm pistols, four magazines and 10 rounds of ammunition were seized from Kurban.
"He will be questioned to check if he is involved in an arms racket," the officer added.
