Karimnagar: Maliala police apprehended a person who possessed a revolver illegally and seized the weapon, six bullets, a bike and a mobile phone from his possession in Jagtial on Tuesday.
DSP Venkataswamy said that the accused was identified as Gudem Mahendar, 48, of Mustabad mandal, who was running a function hall and was in the real estate business.

ASI Kumaraswamy, during a vehicle check at Rajaram bus stand, arrested Mahendar with the weapon, while he was moving suspiciously upon seeing the police. A case was registered against him.
