MEERUT, May 21 -- Absconding for several months, the main accused allegedly involved in supplying illegal weapons used in the Bareilly violence, on September 26 last year, was arrested on Tuesday by a Baheri police team from Kichha in Uttarakhand, officials said on Wednesday. According to police officials, the accused identified as Gaffar Khan had been evading arrest. He was produced before a court on Wednesday and later sent to judicial custody. Police had earlier registered an FIR against six people in connection with the supply of illegal firearms linked to the Bareilly violence. Five of the accused had already been arrested, while Gaffar Khan, a resident of Darau village in Uttarakhand, had remained absconding. Investigators claimed that Gaffar had attempted to get his name removed from the FIR by exerting pressure on police through political leaders in Uttarakhand. When those efforts failed, he allegedly began accusing the police of falsely implicating him in the case. Following directions from senior superintendent of police Anurag Arya, police intensified efforts to trace him and activated their informer network across Uttarakhand. The illegal weapons network came to light on February 19 when police intercepted a car near Shergarh trisection during an operation. A large quantity of pistols and cartridges was allegedly recovered from the vehicle. Two accused - Tasleem, a resident of Jokhanpur, and Somu Khan alias Aushaf, a resident of Baripura Shergarh - were arrested at the spot....
