Two policemen arrested for allegedly selling arms

At least two policemen were arrested after they were found involved in selling weapons which were recovered during police raids.

The police learnt about the illegal activity following a sting operation conducted by the host of a private television (TV) channel programme.

The police constables were identified as Muhammad Arsalan and Adnan. Their illicit activity was confirmed after they sold arms, recovered during different raids, to a man who pretended to be a buyer.

The programme host subsequently complained to the Civil Lines Police on Sunday. As proof, he showed a recording of the sting operation to the ASI in which both suspects could be seen finalising a deal with the actor.
