Rupahihat Police in Assam's Nagaon district arrested two suspected robbers and recovered a pistol along with live ammunition during a late-night operation based on specific intelligence inputs.

According to police sources, the operation was carried out at a hotel identified as 7 Star Luxury Hotel, where the two suspects were allegedly planning a robbery. The accused have been identified as Tajajul Haque and Rashidul Haque.

Police said they acted on a tip-off and conducted a raid at the hotel, leading to the arrest of the duo. During the operation, officers recovered a 7.65 mm pistol along with two rounds of live ammunition from their possession.

Investigators suspect that the two men were preparing to execute a robbery and had allegedly travelled from the 2 No. Borguli area to the hotel to plan the crime. The arrests were made before the alleged plan could be carried out.

The accused are currently being interrogated, and police are continuing their investigation to ascertain whether they were linked to any previous criminal activities or part of a larger network.

Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
