Joint operations of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Special Task Force (STF) of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana have unearthed an inter-state arms and ammunition smuggling network. Now the investigating agencies are finding out how the ammunition manufactured in government ordnance factories reaches these illegal networks and private arms shops through authorized channels.

According to information received from agencies, about 19,250 live cartridges and a country-made pistol were recovered from an SUV near Kulhariya Toll Plaza in Bhojpur (Bihar), while overall in this case, more than 44,000 (according to various reports about 44,000 to 45,000) live cartridges and more than Rs 1 crore in cash have been seized.

Many people including Shashi Prakash (Patna), Ravi Ranjan Singh (Shekhpura), Vijay Kalra and Kush Kalra (Kurukshetra) have been arrested in this case. This syndicate used to smuggle cartridges from Haryana to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. After photographs of some accused (like Chandan Tiwari and Abhishek Tiwari) arrested or said to be involved in this case surfaced on social media in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) uniform, Bihar's Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav and other opposition leaders have raised questions about the role of the Sangh and the recovery of cartridges on such a large scale.
