On the night of Thursday, December 19, Kolkata Police's Special Task Force (STF) executed a raid at a guest house located on AJC Bose Road and arrested two individuals, Ravish Kumar and Mirz Malik, both of whom are residents of Bihar. During the operation, the police seized two 9mm automatic pistols and 18 rounds of ammunition from the arrested men.

The operation was based on specific intelligence gathered by the STF. After detaining Kumar and Malik, the police recovered the weapons from their possession and proceeded to arrest them. A case under the Arms Act was registered immediately following the seizure of the firearms.
