Police Commissioner Soumendra Priyadarshi told mediapersons that the cops have also seized two bikes and five mobile phones from the possession of the arms smugglers. The mastermind of the racket is Saumendra Sahu alias Magu of Thattari Street in Chauliaganj who is accused of bringing arms and ammunition from Munger district of Bihar and supplying them to criminal elements across Odisha, Priyadarshi said.

Three other accused who were arrested in this connection are: Kalia alias Sheik Sajid Ali of Krishnanandapur in Tirtol of Jagatsinghpur district, Sudarshan Mallik alias Timina under Biridi Parvatipur police station and Badal Jena alias Denga Budha of Basua Jena Street in Shankarpur.
