Jaipur: Jaipur range police on Wednesday arrested one Mahipal Gujjar – a close aide of Papla Gujjar and sized an AK-47 gun, two foreign-made pistols and 32 cartridges from his possession. The arrest was made on the basis of revelations made by Papla during his interrogation, senior police officers said. Papla is currently in police custody and the police are trying to find out how he and his gang members had access to AK-47 guns.
