The Story in Brief
Delhi Police arrested 30-year-old Raj Singh on August 6 near Guru Gobind Singh University in Shahdara for carrying an illegal Beretta pistol, four.32-calibre live cartridges, and two magazines. Officers on routine patrol acted on a tip that a man in a white car would be moving from Vivek Vihar to Bhikam Singh Colony.
The pistol, reportedly made in Italy, was found on Singh. Additional cartridges and magazines were recovered from the dashboard. Police registered a case under the Arms Act. Singh allegedly claimed he kept the firearm as a hobby. Investigators are probing the weapon's source and any links to illegal arms trafficking.
The Indian Opinion
The accused says the gun was a hobby. That is the standard line, but the Beretta's Italian make and the two magazines suggest a supply chain, not a collector's whim. Delhi's illegal arms trade is not a lone-man problem. The test will be whether the police trace the weapon to a trafficker or let the trail stop at Raj Singh's hobby.
