A local court has awarded one-year imprisonment
to a Fatehgarh Sahib resident in an Arms Act case. A fine of Rs 7,000
was also imposed on Lal Singh.
On September 26, 2016, the police received a wireless message that one revolver was found from a car in Sector 42. A constable had claimed that he saw a Swift car in which he found a black revolver in a pouch with five live cartridges.
When confronted, the accused revealed his name
to be Lal Singh. He neither gave any satisfactory reason for carrying
the said weapon nor he could produce any permit or license for the same.
The revolver was a 32MK III Field Gun Kanpur.
An FIR was registered against him and the court held him guilty under Sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act.
