The Rajasthan ATS has so far arrested 16 members of this gang including the kingpin, Zuber Khan from Ajmer, and interrogated nearly 100 people in the matter. The officials said that the gun licenses were prepared from Jammu and Kashmir.
The role of some Jammu and Kashmir officials is also under scanner, sources said.
