New Delhi: The Special Cell of the Delhi police on Sunday arrested a 45-year-old woman for supplying illegal weapons to contacts in Delhi, NCR and West Uttar Pradesh.

The interstate illegal arm trader and a proclaimed offender, Mobal, who hails from Madhya Pradesh, was carrying 14 pistols and 14 magazines when she was arrested by the Special Cell of the Delhi police in Shastri Park area in Seelampur on July 26.

According to the police, Mobal, alias Computer, is a wanted criminal and has been arrested thrice previously for her involvement in smuggling illegal weapons. “This is a big catch for us. Despite being arrested thrice before, she continues to indulge in weapons trade. She managed to escape before this but now we have identified her supplier and are investigating further,” Special Cell DCP Pramod Khushwaha said.

During interrogation, the accused revealed that these weapons were collected by her from a manufacturer in Gandhwani in Dhar district of MP and the same were to be supplied to various contacts in Delhi NCR and Western UP. 

Mobal, during interrogation, admitted that she had supplied weapons in Delhi NCR and UP West to different persons on several occasions in the last fifteen years.
