Senior Superintendent of Police, Jammu, Chandan Kohli said after specific inputs regarding an attempt to smuggle weapons, a high alert was issued across Jammu on Sunday and mobile vehicle checking nakas were laid at more than a dozen places.
A team at the Purmandal crossing under the jurisdiction of the Gangyal police station stopped a truck and found a pistol and two hand grenades on it, following which its driver, Muntazir Manzoor of Pulwama, was arrested, the SSP said.
