The Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) said they were preparing a weapons sale when officers intercepted them; the claims about their roles and the alleged supply network remain allegations, not findings of guilt.
Where and when the three men were arrested
Hindustan Times reported that the STF arrested Asad, Ikram and Danish at about 6:40 p.m. on Thursday, 1 October 2026. The reported location was an orchard along the road from Bijli Ghar Tiraha toward Sherpur Pailo, in the Mirzapur police-station area of Saharanpur district.

According to the report, the operation followed intelligence inputs received over the preceding days about illegal arms trafficking in western Uttar Pradesh. The STF reportedly said the men were preparing a weapons sale when intercepted.
What the STF alleged about the men and the route
As summarized by Hindustan Times, preliminary STF questioning characterized Asad as the alleged key member of the group. The report described him as a dairy owner, Danish as his driver, and Ikram as a worker at Asad’s home and dairy. These descriptions are attributed to the agency’s account.
#1 Best Overall
The STF reportedly alleged that the men obtained firearms and cartridges from Marhatta Gun House in Amritsar, Punjab, and supplied buyers in western Uttar Pradesh. The stated destinations were Saharanpur, Shamli and adjoining districts. The agency account put the alleged activity at about two years; that duration has not been independently established in the reporting cited here.
What the report says about the alleged prices
Hindustan Times reported that the men allegedly told the STF they bought each gun in Amritsar for ₹30,000–₹40,000 and sold it in western Uttar Pradesh for ₹80,000 to ₹1 lakh. These are reported alleged transaction prices, not verified market rates or a broader price trend.
Rank #2
What is known about the case status
The available account establishes that the arrests and allegations were reported by Hindustan Times on 2 October 2026. It does not establish guilt or describe a later court outcome. Hindustan Times’ report does not include an independently reviewed STF release, court filing, formal charge sheet, defense response or follow-up on the case’s status. Read the account as a report of the agency’s allegations, not as proof that the accused committed the alleged offences.
