Bengaluru, and even other parts of Karnataka, are slowly turning into places where people are armed with illegal guns and revolvers. Police and other agencies crack some cases, while others remain undetected. "There is a problem and it's growing.

According to information from the ministry of home affairs (MHA), nearly 300 people have been arrested in Karnataka over the past four years in connection with illegal arms cases, and 337 weapons have been seized.
