The accused police constable, identified as Atul Gorle, had taken away the rifle and cartridges, without the knowledge of his colleague and hidden them in the parking area of the Special Action Team of the district Police office located on the police headquarter premises here, a press release issued by police said here.
The disappearance of arms created panic among the policemen, as Gadchiroli is the hotbet of Naxal activities.
"Action under Indian Penal code and Indian Arms Act is being initiated against Gorle in this regard," the police release said.
Further investigation into the case is on.
