Gujarat Police: Weapons Seized from Dargah; DGP Orders Dossier on Anti-National Elements
After a big explosion in Delhi, police in Gujarat are being extra careful.
They found sharp weapons like knives and swords at a religious place called a dargah.
The person in charge was arrested.
Also, the police chief told all police stations to make a list of people who might be dangerous to the country, so they can check what these people are doing now.
This is to help keep everyone safe.
Gujarat Police recovered deadly weapons from a dargah in Kodinar as part of security checks following the Red Fort blast.
Gujarat DGP ordered a dossier on 'anti-national elements' booked in the last 30 years after the arrest of suspects in a terror plot and the Red Fort blast.
The weapons recovered included an axe, knives, and swords, and the dargah's caretaker was arrested.
The DGP's order aims to update the status of these individuals within the next 100 hours.
The search operation and the DGP's order are part of broader security measures following recent terror-related incidents.
