Man arrested with arms in Jharkhand
A young man named Kiran Mahato was caught by the police in Jharkhand.
He had two homemade guns and many bullets with him.
The police think he was going to give these to someone else who is also in trouble for a robbery that happened earlier.
Kiran's uncle and four others were already caught for this robbery.
The police got a tip that Kiran was carrying the guns and caught him near a bus station.
This all happened in a place called West Singhbhum in Jharkhand.
Kiran Mahato (24) was arrested with two country-made pistols and multiple live cartridges in Jharkhand's West Singhbhum district.
He was wanted in a dacoity case reported in Gua in October.
Police acted on an input that Kiran was delivering arms to another accused, Ranu Lohar.
Five people, including Kiran's uncle, were previously arrested in the same case.
The arrest took place near a bus stand in Gua on December 19.
