The Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested a 24-year-old Uttar Pradesh native in Sewri with three country-made pistols and 10 live cartridges in his possession.

According to Mumbai Police sources, the youth, Ajay Kumar Sarvesh Kumar Diwakar, who hails from Kanpur, appears to be an ordinary citizen with no criminal record. However, key questions remain unanswered: who sent him, and to whom was he supposed to deliver the weapons?

Described by sources as a slim, boyish-looking man with specks on his face, Diwakar was allegedly instructed to collect a bag, board a train to Mumbai, proceed to a designated location, and hand over the bag — no questions asked. He was promised a fee for completing the delivery.
