Dahod man held with country-made gun

VADODARA: A 22-year-old man from Dahod was arrested with a country-made gun and two cartridges in Akota on Saturday.
The accused, Kaileskumar Vasaiya, was found suspiciously loitering outside Sir Sayajinagar Gruh on Saturday morning.
When cops went and questioned him, he identified himself but could not give any satisfactory reply about his presence there. On frisking him, cops found a gun with two cartridges in its magazine holstered in his pants.
Vasaiya said that he did not have any license for the weapon. He was arrested and an offence under Arms Act was registered against him at Gotri police station.
Later during interrogation, he told cops that the gun was given to him by his uncle Satish Vasaiya, who also lives in Dahod.
When cops nabbed him in Akota, Vasaiya was actually looking for a person to sell off the gun.
Police said that Vasaiya’s uncle, too, has been booked and they are searching for him.
