Gun culture is spreading fast in the capital city; and even petty criminals are now found in the possession of illegal firearms and using them to commit various crimes.
The Commissionerate police though have made a number of seizures and arrested some gunrunners they have been unable to curb the flow of the illegal firearms into the city.
In an example, police on Wednesday arrested two suspected criminals in Ghatakia area under the Khandagiri police station and seized a gun from their possession.
The two accused were identified as Kabula Khan and Sheik Tehsil. Acting on a tipoff, police conducted a raid and intercepted the duo near Ghatikia. During search, the cops recovered a gun from their possession and arrested the two youths.
The cops have started investigation from various angles to find out why and from whom the two had procured the gun and if the two have previous criminal antecedents.
