“These weapons provide the force with an added edge to combat any terror-like situation. Mumbai police spokesperson DCP Mahesh Patil said the department has been using sophisticated weapons post 26/11. Also, whether the weapons will work properly during emergency,” he said. “The main question that arises now is whether the force is well-trained to handle such weapons. Kothari said the quantity of weapons, of both Indian and foreign make, shows the Mumbai police force is prepared to combat any terror-like situation. This data has been procured by activist Chetan Kothari in response to a query under the Right to Information (RTI) Act. That apart, cops have also got a large number of general weapons such as SLRs, AK-47s, Insas rifles, machine guns and stun guns. These include rocket launchers, under barrel grenade launchers (UBGL), automatic grenade launchers (AGL), sniper rifles, mortars, projector grenades, corner shot weapons and cord-detonating explosives. MUMBAI: Post 26/11 terror attacks, Mumbai cops’ arsenal has been beefed up with advanced and sophisticated weapons.
