While checking, cops found a Glock handgun made in Austria and 13 live rounds.
The duo was not able to produce a permit or licence for the weapon.
A case under Sections 25, 54 and 59 of Arms Act and Section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) has been registered at the Sector 17 police station.
Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Kuldeep Singh Chahal said, “We are verifying who the weapon belongs to and have registered a case for now.”
On the reason for why the accused haven’t been arrested yet, police officials said they are checking if the two were unaware of the weapons in their vehicle. The arrests will be made after verification. They are also checking if there was any permission that allowed the weapon to cross state lines between Punjab and Chandigarh.
