The arrest was made on August 6 during routine patrolling near New Sadak Road, close to Guru Gobind Singh University, after a tip-off about a man travelling in a white car with a firearm. The accused, identified as Raj Singh of Harsh Vihar, allegedly told police he kept the weapon as a hobby and to show off. An FIR was registered under Section 25 of the Arms Act. Police are investigating the weapon's source and any links to the illegal arms trade. The Assam Tribune reported the recovery, while the Times of India carried a separate story about a wanted criminal being shot in Mathura after snatching a cop's pistol, an unrelated incident. ## Coverage - assamtribune.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Arms Act, Beretta pistol, Delhi Police, illegal arms, Shahdara Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-police-arrest-man-with-italian-beretta-pistol/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
