Telegraph reports that Uttar Pradesh Police on May 26 arrested seven persons in the Etah district for allegedly running a fake arms licence racket that could have helped Naxalites (left-wing extremists) procure guns from Uttar Pradesh. The district Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), S.K. Singh, said that arms had been purchased using the fake licenses made by the arrested persons. Police also sealed a gun dealers shop that allegedly sold firearms against fake licences. The SSP said, We have sealed one arms shop, the Raj Gun House, from where at least 48 firearms were sold against fake licences in the last three years. When we got in touch with the CID of Bihar police, we learnt that some of the weapons seized from Naxalites there were bought from shops in Etah. We suspect some of these weapons, purchased using dubious gun licences, have gone to the Naxalites , he added.
