Shouvik Dey, sub-divisional police officer of Sonamura in Sipahijala district, said one Abu Salem showed the cartridges of a .303 bore rifle to a shopkeeper on Friday evening and said that he found them from the wash room of the check post.
"On receiving the information, people as well as BSF personnel gathered in the area. The BSF personnel took him to Srimantapur Border outpost and after preliminary interrogation handed him over to the police. We would produce him before a local court asking for five days police remand for interrogation. We have not received any clue so far," Dey said.
