A large quantity of arms and ammunition was recovered by Assam Rifles (AR) today while those were being transported in a vehicle from Ukhrul to Imphal in Manipur, an AR release said.
The seized items included two GSG-5 German rifles with four magazines, one Uzkon semi-automatic shot gun with three magazines, two 9 mm Beretta pistols with four magazines, one 9 mm Sigsauer pistol with two magazines, detonators and more than 6000 rounds of ammunition of various kinds.
This recovery is a major success on the part of Assam Rifles to thwart nefarious designs of the underground groups, it said.
