The policemen who were present there noticed the ‘safari clad’ men carrying weapons and questioned them. On coming to know that they were private security guards, the police rounded them up and shifted them to police station.

“We are verifying the documents including weapon license and permission,” said Chatrinaka Inspector, Amboth Bhojya.
