Jharkhand Police Uncover Pakistan Link in Organized Crime Network
Police in Jharkhand, India, are investigating a big crime ring.
They found out that some criminals in their state were getting weapons from Pakistan.
They used people in other places like Punjab to bring the guns into India.
To pay for these weapons, they sent money secretly, like through a system called hawala, which is like sending money without actually sending cash directly.
They also used international money transfer services.
Sometimes, the money was sent through restaurants in Malaysia that were run by people from Pakistan.
The criminals even used a special secret phone app to plan their crimes and threatened people for money.
Police believe women were used to carry the weapons from Punjab to Jharkhand.
This investigation is still ongoing to find all the missing weapons and understand how much money was involved.
Jharkhand Police are investigating alleged terror funding and arms smuggling networks linking local criminals with Pakistan-based suppliers.
Gang leaders Prince Khan and Sujit Sinha are accused of procuring weapons from Pakistan via intermediaries in Punjab.
Payments for weapons were allegedly routed through hawala channels, Dubai, Malaysia, and Western Union.
A secret communication app called 'Jangi' was reportedly used by Sujit Sinha's gang to plan operations and extortion.
Women were allegedly used as couriers to transport foreign-made weapons from Punjab to Jharkhand.
