The sleuths of the Organised Crime wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) arrested a 30-year-old drug peddler and recovered a country-made pistol, along with four rounds of ammunition, from him, recently.

The accused was identified as Roshan Ahmed, a resident of BTM layout.

Based on a tip-off, the sleuths caught him. Before being caught, he was allegedly preparing to commit a crime near the Indian Oil Petrol Bunk at Suddaguntepalya.
