Lahore: Intelligence agencies reveals illegal arms trade being run through Afghan slums of the metropolitan scientifically.
They have prepared this report on direction of Punjab government regarding arms supply to criminal groups.
The report, prepared about arms dealers and their methods to supply weapons in Lahore city and its suburbs, states that latest and lethal arms could be purchased through dealers in Bha’ti Gate, Malipura, Nasirabad, Shahdara, Sheranwala Gate, Lorry Adda, Badami Bagh and Sabzi Mandi Ravi Road areas. These dealers are also involved in supplying explosives and weapons to terrorists.
In last five years, police has recovered 375000 illegal arms from all over Punjab and more than 110000 from Lahore.
Report revealed that a large number of Afghans and people from tribal areas are involved in illegal arms dealing and supply business with support of police and politicians. This has made them so fearless that if client offer them a good price they provide home delivery as well.
Other than normal routes the dealers take different and difficult routes as there is no possibility of checking while incompetence and corruption of security personnel at the entrance routes provide them an easy access.
Petrol pumps, Buses and Truck stands are considered as safest delivery points.
The terrorists who were arrested sometime ago revealed during investigations that weapons were transported via secret compartments in buses and trucks. Lahore police is still unable to find the dealers.
Police sources say that Punjab police registered cases against thousands of people after recovering illegal arms from them but no dealer was ever arrested who supplied arms to them.
Investigation officers of illegal arms cases usually take bribe and provide escape to these dealers after showing no address in their reports.
The uninterrupted supply of arms to criminals considered to be a big reason in current sharp increase in killings and other crimes in the city.
