A firearms dealer was arrested by Government Railway Police (GRP) staff from the Dharmanagar Railway Station in Tripura and recovered two pistols and two magazines from his possession.
The firearms dealer has been identified as Bishik Chakma, hailing from Manu, Sitlapara in Dhalai district of Tripura, but he resides in Korbuk, Mogchari, in Gomati district.
