SP Jayant Rathore informed Source that the post originated from outside Ujjain, and efforts were underway by the cyber cell police to track down the culprits. The accused provided a mobile phone number for potential buyers to place orders.

In a related incident, Ujjain police previously dismantled a gang led by Durlabh Kashyap, who utilized social media for recruitment and to instill fear by sharing images displaying firearms and sharp objects. Kashyap met his demise in a gang altercation in September 2020. Presently, police are also probing another Facebook page questioning Durlabh Kashyap’s status, which similarly features a man posing with pistols, as per source report.
