Salauddin's neighbours said that Salauddin belongs to an educated family. He is also a hakim by profession. He used to give medicines to people. He does business of honey. His wife teaches in school, one of his daughters studies in Integral University and the other daughter is married and is living abroad. We do not talk to him much. He greets him while coming and going from home but he is not very sociable. We have not taken any medicine from him till date but other people used to come to take medicine. When the police raided here, no one was allowed to come and go in this street. Therefore, we did not know what was recovered from inside.

Suspicion of large scale supply of arms

Police have expressed suspicion that arms were being manufactured inside houses in densely populated areas and were being supplied on a large scale across the state. A large number of outsiders used to visit Salauddin's house. According to ADCP North Jitendra Dubey, information about an arms factory was received on Thursday evening. Upon raiding the house, a large number of arms, cartridges, arms manufacturing equipment and some other items were recovered. Police have taken the house owner Salauddin into custody and are interrogating him.
