Revolver frames seized

Gorakhpur July 15. The Railway Protection Force seized 1,000 Russian revolver frames from the Kushinagar Express at the Gorakhpur railway station, RPF sources said today.

The train had left Mumbai on July 11 and it reached Gorakhpur on Sunday with its sleeper luggage rack coach locked from inside. RPF personnel opened the coach and found 13 packets containing the revolver frames. The consignment was booked from Kurla, Mumbai, to Kanpur, by a Thane-based company, with the receiver's name registered as the General Manager, Small Arms Factory, Kanpur. Sources in the RPF said the Kanpur address was false.
