Malad Youth arrested with unlicenced pistol

A 29-nine-year-old man was arrested by the V P Road Police on Monday for allegedly possessing a pistol of German-make without the requisite licence. The arrest came after some accused nabbed in connection with a theft told the police that they knew of a person with an unlicenced firearm in his possession.

The accused has been identified as Yogesh Wadkar, a Malad resident.

"Some persons we had arrested in connection with a theft case told us that Wadkar had a firearm in his possession. Our team went to the spot and nabbed him. He has been charged under Sections of the Arms Act. He was produced in court and has been remanded in police custody until Wednesday," said an officer of the V P Road police.

The police have also found empty gun magazines in Wadkar's possession.
