A-62-year-old man was arrested for allegedly supplying ammunition illegally to criminals based in Delhi-NCR and Punjab, police said on Saturday.
Amarlal, a native of Punjab's Abohar, was arrested on Friday at Sonia Vihar Pushta road in Delhi, where he had arrived to deliver a huge cache of ammunition to his contact, police said.
Police recovered a total of 1,000 live cartridges of .32 pistol, 1,000 live cartridges of .315 pistol and Rs 25,000 from the man.
Police said Amarlal bought ammunition at a cost of Rs 125-150 per cartridge from a known gun house owner in Haryana's Ambala and sold them to criminals for Rs 200-250 per cartridge.
He has been allegedly supplying ammunition to criminals since 2002.

He was first arrested by the CBI in a fake arms license case in 2002 and later on by local police in the Arms Act cases, police said.
