In a major operation against organized crime syndicates, the Crime Branch of
Delhi Police has busted a cross-border Pakistan secret agency-ISI backed, arms
trafficking module inked with Sonu Khatri @ Rajesh Kumar gang and has arrested
four key operatives of the syndicate.
On 19.11.2025, ARSC Crime Branch received credible intelligence regarding
cross-border arms traffickers module found involved in supplying sophisticated
illegal weapons in Delhi/NCR. A subsequent specific input revealed that interstate
traffickers would arrive in Rohini to deliver arms.
Thereafter a raiding party was constituted led by Insp. Man Singh, Insp.
Sunder Gautam under supervision of Sh. Sanjay Nagpal, ACP ARSC, Crime Branch
and under overall supervision of DCP Sh. Sanjeev Kumar Yadav.
Acting swiftly, a strategic trap was laid near Khatu Shyam temple, road towards
Bawana, Sector-28, Rohini, Delhi. The team discreetly kept surveillance at the spot.
In the meanwhile, a white Swift Dzire arrived at the spot, matching the informer’s
description. On interception, the team apprehended two suspects. A thorough search
of the vehicle led to a significant discovery.

This module was involved in smuggling of weapons from across the international
border using drones. Investigation revealed that traffickers based in Pakistan deploy
customised commercial drones to drop arms, ammunition and other contraband
items near vulnerable stretches of the border, primarily during late-night hours to
avoid detection. These drones typically fly at low altitude to evade radar and carry
small but high-value payloads.
The consignments are dropped at pre-selected GPS locations close to the
border fence, where receivers on the Indian side, usually local criminals or drug/arms
traffickers retrieved the material. The handlers coordinate the drop through
encrypted communication platforms and frequently change locations and timings to
avoid pattern detection. The network relies on local collaborators who monitor police
movement, facilitate quick pickups, and transport the consignment to safe houses.
Payments are routed through hawala channels or proxy accounts to maintain
anonymity. The same groups are often found to be involved in trafficking, illegal
arms supply, and other organised crime activities. They used to wrap the weapons in
corus carbon papers so that they could not be intercepted on checking. Accused
