The detention comes after raids yesterday evening and all through the night at an apartment in Noida's Sector 49. The UP police says seven weapons and 88 rounds of live cartridges have been recovered from the flat where these men were living.
One of the weapons was an INSAS rifle which could have been stolen from security forces, police said.
