Fourth Arrest Made in Hand Grenade Seizure in Kurukshetra

The Kurukshetra police have made significant progress in a hand grenade seizure case, with the arrest of a fourth suspect. The latest individual taken into custody is identified as Vishu, a resident of Patiala. This arrest follows the apprehension of three other suspects linked to the case, demonstrating the authorities’ commitment to addressing illegal arms possession.

On October 7, 2023, officers from the CIA-2 unit arrested two men, Gurvinder and Sandeep, on the Kurukshetra-Pehowa road. The pair was found in possession of a hand grenade and five live cartridges during a routine check. This alarming discovery prompted a detailed investigation into the origins and intended use of the weapons.

Following the initial arrests, the investigation team secured a lead that led to the arrest of a third accomplice, Suresh, on October 13, 2023. His connection to Gurvinder and Sandeep provided critical information that assisted police in tracking down Vishu. The police apprehended him on October 16, 2023, further tightening the net around this group involved in illegal activities.

As the investigation continues, authorities are focused on uncovering more details about the suspects’ plans and the source of the grenade. Police in Kurukshetra have emphasized the importance of addressing such threats to public safety and are committed to ensuring that those involved in illegal arms trade are held accountable.

The rapid sequence of arrests highlights the effectiveness of the CIA-2 unit’s operations in tackling serious crime in the region. Further updates will follow as the investigation progresses, with the police urging anyone with additional information to come forward.
