Nishant Singh Karam Singh (27), who is also allegedly involved in drug smuggling, was nabbed from Chembur after he arrived in the city from Nanded with five of his associates. The police have seized a 12 bore rifle with 24 rounds of cartridges, two Point 32 pistols and a Toyaota Innova from him. Singh has been remanded in police custody till June 28. Singh, who was a sepoy in the army, had served in Kargil, Siachen and J&K. He has not reported to duty for the past 4 years.
“We have sent pictures and other details to the Punjab police who are supposed to send a team to the city by late evening,’’ said ATS chief Rakesh Maria. Acting on a tip-off, the Nanded ATS unit, led by DCP P Sawant, caught Singh at Diamond Garden. When asked what was Singh doing in Mumbai, Maria said, “We have to interrogate him before making any comment.’’
