City Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar has asked people who have more than two weapons to deposit the third at the police station.
This, he said, was because the Union government made amendments to Section 3 of the Arms Act 1959, bringing down the limit of three weapons per person to two. The existing limit of three weapons was introduced in 1983 via amendments to the Arms Act.
“For self protection now, maximum two weapons are allowed. Anyone having third weapon has to deposit the same. One year permission is given to sell the third weapon,” Anjani Kumar said in a tweet on Monday.
