| CM security cop's weapon seized from contractor | | Accused release on interim bail | | Jammu, July 7
Sounds unbelievable! Jammu police has reportedly seized a revolver of a sub inspector posted with Chief Minister's Security wing from a private contractor named in a case of intimidation on gun point.
The accused contractor was arrested with his associate yesterday after a showroom owner complained that the duo along with two other associates intimidated him by a revolver at his shop T R Gupta and Sons located at Railway Road Jammu.
The showroom owner complained that a private contractor along with two others came to his shop and asked to return money that he owened to one Bhatia. "When I said, I owe nothing to him as all accounts have already been cleared between us, the assailants brandished a pistol and threatened to kill me and my family in case I refused to pay the money", the complaint said, adding "one of his associate also pointed a Katta towards me." .
On receipt of the complaint, police arrested two persons and recovered the revolver bearing number PVL 209.
The sources within the police disclosed that the revolver is an official weapon of a Sub Inspector posted with CM's security wing. Police is investigating as how the official weapon landed up in the hands of private contractor.
However, police denied the reports that the revolver belongs to a cop. "It is a mere rumour and there is nothing truth about it", SP City Zahid Manhas said. However, he confirmed the arrest of two persons in the case.
Meanwhile, the arrested duo has been released on interim bail till Tuesday after they moved an application in the court of Sub – Registrar Amit Gupta.
It was reliably learned that the accused moved an application through their counsels Firdous A Tak and Rajeev Gorkha pleading innocence and claimed that they have been arrested in a fabricated case. The court after hearing the counsels and going through the police report released the accused on interim bail till Tuesday with the direction that they shall remain available with the investigation officer.
