She explained that “upon interrogation, the suspects failed to provide any reasonable explanation for their suspicious presence at that hour,” adding that, instead, they falsely claimed to be security guards but could not present uniforms, means of identification, or any credible source for the firearm found in their possession.

DSP John added that the suspects were currently undergoing further interrogation and reiterated the Command’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of residents.

She enjoined residents of the state to remain vigilant and promptly report all suspicious activities to the nearest Police formation.
