Hisar: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) who is conducting search in the #Satlok ashram of Rampal had today found cash, weapons, bullet-proof jackets and dresses of commando.
The police said they collected evidence and took information from Rampal about the lockers and almirahs at the premises.
Police also said that lockers were opened in the presence of a magistrate.
Police said that 63-year-old Rampal, during his hour-long stay at the 12-acre complex, was questioned by the SIT of Haryana Police on the recoveries, including arms and ammunition that have been made.
Hisar Range Inspector General of Police, AK Rao said that four .315 bore rifles, five .12 bore guns and some cartridges were found during the search.
Rao along with other senior police officials held a meeting with Director General of Police S N Vashisht in connection with the ongoing search operations and investigation pertaining to the activities of Rampal.
They said that three bullet-proof jackets and some “commando dresses” had also been found.
Rao on the question, if Rampal and his private commandos could have been preparing for taking the police force head-on during the tense standoff, said, “It could be that or it could also be the
fact that they were apprehensive about some threat (police action against them).”
He said since the bullet-proof jackets cannot be procured for civilian use, the police will check from where they managed to procure these. He said, “Besides, we found some commando dresses.”
