Delhi Crime Branch Cracks Down on ISI-Backed Arms Smuggling Racket, 4 Held
Four operatives linked to Pakistan’s ISI were arrested for smuggling foreign pistols and grenades into India via drones to arm criminal gangs, officials said.
- On November 22, 2025, the Delhi Police Crime Branch said it dismantled an international arms‑smuggling network allegedly linked to Pakistan's ISI and arrested four key members.
- Investigators say the Pakistan-based handler used virtual numbers routed from Pakistan to funnel Turkey-made and China-made pistols into India.
- Police say drones — one recording footage and another dropping arms wrapped in carbon polythene — air-dropped consignments into Punjab, where officers recovered five Turkey-made pistols, three China-made pistols, and 92 live cartridges.
- Police set up a trap that escalated into an armed encounter when suspects opened fire, wounding two suspects who were rushed to hospital; Delhi Crime Branch investigators are analysing mobile, bank and social media data.
- The bust removes a cross-border trafficking ring, officials say the Delhi Crime Branch calls it a significant international arms operation allegedly linked to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence , with ties to notorious gangsters Gogi and Kapil Sangwan targeting Delhi and neighbouring states.
