The Special Task Force (STF) of West Bengal arrested an alleged veteran arms supplier from Dum Dum Cantonment railway station in West Bengal.

The STF officers have identified the person arrested on Monday evening as 55-years-old Tapan Saha who belonged to Habra Manasabari in West Bengal.

They have also recovered two 7mm semi-automatic pistols and two improvised "one shotter" guns from the possession of this alleged veteran arms supplier, an official statement mentioned.

It further said that a case has been registered with Dum Dum Government Railway Police Station against Saha.
