Darpan News Desk Darpan, 12 Aug, 2014 11:43 AM
    Around 100 blank-firing pistols meant to be delivered in areas of the national capital region (NCR) were Tuesday recovered from a car here, police said.
     
    The two occupants of the car were also detained.
     
    "The car was coming towards Bagdola village when a police team spotted it in Dwarka area of south Delhi. On seeing the police team, the occupants tried to flee but were caught," said a police officer.
     
    The pistols were being transported in two jute bags.
     
    Such pistols are often used in races. The firing causes a loud noise, accompanied by smoke, but no cartridge is involved. A license is required for such pistols.
     
    Police said they were questioning the men and trying to ascertain the places and the people for whom the pistols were to be delivered.
