Two brothers, Rakesh and Umesh Dubbula, have been arrested for stealing a gun from a sailor.
They tricked the sailor by pretending to be his superiors.
The brothers said they wanted the gun to show off in their village, and also to threaten people for money.
Police are investigating if they have ties to dangerous groups.
They are checking the brothers' phones, social media, and where they have been.
The sailor who was supposed to be watching the gun is also being questioned.
The police have found a photo of one brother holding a gun in a way that suggests he knows how to use it.
