JAMSHEDPUR – In a crucial operation, Sonari police have successfully apprehended Sonu Singh alias Sial, a person with a history of serious offenses, thwarting a potential major criminal act in the city. Singh, identified as a resident of Khuntadih Ram Temple in Sonari, was caught in possession of a firearm, prepared to commit a grave crime.

Led by Saryu Anand, the Sonari station in-charge, the police acted on intelligence, leading to Singh’s arrest. During the operation, an illegal country-made pistol, ammunition, and a smartphone were seized from him, underscoring the imminent threat he posed.

City SP Mukesh Kumar Lunayat, at a press briefing, revealed that Singh, recently out of jail since January, was actively planning new criminal ventures. His arrest disrupts these plans, ensuring community safety.
