Mumbai's RCF Police have arrested a man from the Chembur area, identified as Angat Singh from Uttar Pradesh, for allegedly supplying illegal weapons in Mumbai. The police recovered two country-made pistols, eight live cartridges, and ₹50,000 in cash from his possession. The arrest was made during an operation aimed at curbing illegal arms trade in the city. Angat Singh was reportedly in Mumbai with the intention of distributing these weapons. A case under the Arms Act has been registered against him, and further investigations are underway. The accused is set to be presented in court today as the police continue their probe into the matter. The development comes a day after Mumbai police issued high alert in the city following reports of potential terrorist and anti-social threats targeting VVIPs, public places, and crowded areas.

This measure aims to prevent terrorists and anti-social elements from exploiting these devices to target VVIPs, endanger public life, and damage public property. Security has been intensified across various locations, including religious sites, tourist attractions, and other sensitive areas. The police have advised hotels, guesthouses, and lodges to meticulously verify the credentials of individuals checking in, promptly reporting any suspicious activities. Additionally, mock drills are being conducted in sensitive areas to ensure preparedness against potential threats.On Wednesday, Mumbai police also detained a Mulund-based man for allegedly making a threat call to the police control room. The police said the caller seemed to be mentally disturbed. An officer said that around 1 am on Tuesday, the Mumbai police control room received a call from a mobile number. The caller started abusing the police and said he would blow up the police headquarters. He claimed to be the brother of “aatanki Kasab”, apparently referring to Ajmal Amir Kasab, the 26/11 terror attack convict who was hanged. “Kasab ka bhai bol raha hoon,” he said and hung up. The mobile number was traced to Mulund, following which an FIR was registered at the Mulund police station. The police then tracked down the caller on Wednesday. An officer said they detained one Piyush Shukla (28), who worked as a security guard in Thane. He took a train to Mulund and was under the influence of alcohol. He was driven away from the platform by the Railway Protection Police. Upset, he called up the police control room to complain, but got into an argument and issued the threat. The officer said they issued him a notice and allowed him to go.
