Acting on specific intelligence, the operatives were intercepted while transporting a consignment of illegal arms from Pakistan-based smuggler Noor, he added.
Three Glock 9mm pistols, four Px5 pistols and a .30 bore pistol were recovered from them.
The DGP further informed that an FIR was registered at the State Special Operation Cell, Amritsar, and an investigation was underway to identify additional handlers and uncover the full extent of the smuggling network.
