The Border Security Force (BSF) on Wednesday apprehended two persons including a minor and seized 10 firearms along the Bangladesh border in West Bengal's Malda district.
The arrested persons -- Maidul Sheikh, 28 and Rahul Sheikh, 15, were nabbed by the BSF troopers under the Daulatpur border outpost area.
"During a special anti-smuggling operation, we apprehended them," said a BSF officer.
The BSF has apprehended six weapons smugglers and seized over 40 guns including country made pistols so far this year.
