The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday carried out searches at 10 locations in Bihar’s Nalanda district in connection with a multi-state illegal arms and ammunition trafficking case.
The raids began early in the morning, with multiple NIA teams working in coordination with the state police to search premises and hideouts of suspects linked to the case, which was registered last year.
In December last year, the
NIA arrested the alleged kingpin, Kamalkant Verma alias Uncle Ji, from Patna.
He was identified as the 11th accused in the case (RC-01/2025/NIA/PAT). Investigations revealed that Kamalkant played a key role in the syndicate by procuring ammunition illegally from gun houses in Haryana and other locations.
The ammunition was then smuggled to Uttar Pradesh and distributed further to Bihar and other parts of the country.
