Palwal, April 10

The police recovered five pistols and 23 cartridges from 10 suspects arrested in connection with a firing incident that took place on March 29 at a shop in the city. The arrests had been made last week.

DSP Dinesh Yadav said all suspects had been arrested and the police were also successful in recovering all weapons and three motorcycles used in the crime. He said the suspects had been taken on seven-day police remand.

Six of them had been directly involved in the firing incident and four others had been charged with helping or planning the incident. The suspects had opened fire at a mobile shop in the heart of the city on March 29 in broad daylight.

It has been learnt that the suspects wanted to scare the shop owner, who had received a ransom call from a person claiming to be a gangster. The shop owner, who was not present at the time of the incident, had been provided police security after the ransom call was made in January. No one involved in the crime would be spared, the DSP said.
