The arrests took place in the Pagar Pathanpara area, where officers recovered a foreign-made pistol and an empty magazine from one of the suspects’ rented rooms. The detainees were identified as Jasim, 40, from Pagar Pathanpara, and Shariful Alam Arif, 32, from Lalmonirhat Sadar.

According to Tongi East Police, the arrests are linked to a case filed over a recent clash and exchange of gunfire in the Pagar Jhinu Market area, reportedly stemming from a dispute over local dominance. Acting on a tip-off, police detained the two named suspects and later recovered the weapon based on their information.
