According to the police , around 15 people in the three states including some working in the ordnance factories have been arrested. Thakur was a key person in the racket; he used to get replacements for the defective parts in the scrapped weapons from the factory, he said. “These weapons were mostly procured by Munger-based Alam who used to sell them to local criminals. The administrator of the ordnance factory, Major JJ Manas, declined to meet the HT reporter. On Friday, as part of the multi-state operation, Bihar police recovered three AK-47 guns from Munger resident Mohammad Shamsher Alam.
