Four days after the massive arms haul in the city’s northern outskirts of Baguihati, CID sleuths on Thursday recovered a huge cache of bullets, mostly of foreign make, from the house of suspected kingpin of the arms racket Nemai Das.

The raid was conducted on Das’s house at 10 am. Deputy Inspector General (Special Operations Group), CID, Siddhinath Gupta said 300 rounds of bullets were recovered from the cistern of the toilet of Das’s house at Rajarhat. Das is, however, absconding.

Of the 300 rounds recovered, nearly 190 rounds are of Czechoslovakian make and specially designed for long-distance rifles generally used by the Army, a CID official said. The other 110 bullets are manufactured from the Ordanance factory. These are similar to the bullets that were recovered from a house in Baguihati.

CID officials were on the lookout for Das ever since the cache of arms was found in Baguihati. Das, a temporary worker of the Rajarhat-Gopalpur Municipality, has been absconding since January 25 after the CID arrested seven people, including Ashok Mondal, from Harishchandrapur in Malda. Mondal is allegedly a part of an inter-state arms racket. CID officials said Mondal, a resident of Rajarhat, and his accomplices had allegedly supplied arms to suspected Maoists during the violence in Nandigram in 2007.

There are several complaints of extortion, murder, attempt to murder and supply of arms against Mondal in different police stations in North and South 24-Parganas districts. The police are now on the lookout for another agent, who was allegedly based in Dum Dum Park.
