ADCP Sachchidananda said that Pramendra told that he is a B.A. pass and is retired from the post of Naib Subedar in the Army Police. During his service in the Army, in the year 2012-2013, when he was posted in Mall Camp, Himachal Pradesh, during that time, 3-4 agents from Jammu and Kashmir used to come there to get the arms license of the army personnel. Pramendra also had to get arms license made. One of those agents, named Amit Mutreja alias Aniket Awasthi alias Anirudh Shastri, resident of Jaipur Rajasthan and a person named Krishna Kumar Soni, who used to work for getting arms license.
He told Pramendra that we are well known in Jammu and Kashmir, you will have to spend a little money and we will get your arms license made and given to you. To avoid the rounds, Pramendra had given 15 thousand rupees and his identity card and other documents to Amit Mutreja, then Amit Mutreja had got Pramendra's arms license made from Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Said that I have a better deal with those who make arms licenses in Jammu and Kashmir, if you know anyone who does not serve in the army, I will get his arms license made, but it will cost more and will also give commission to Pramendra. Hearing this from Amit, Pramendra got greedy in his mind, after that Pramendra contacted some people he knew from Ghaziabad and Noida and along with Amit Mutreja, took identity cards, other documents and money from those people to get the arms license. By inserting some more fake documents in their papers, some officers and employees of the arms department of the District Magistrate's office in Kishtwar and Kupwara districts of Jammu and Kashmir had got their fake arms licenses made and Pramendra had kept the photocopy of the papers of some people with himself.
To get the license of pistol, Pramendra had taken 80 thousand rupees per license from them and 90 thousand rupees per license of rifle. After understanding and seeing the entire process, Pramendra felt that it was very easy to get an arms license from Jammu and Kashmir, so he got some plain arms license books collected from the arms office there. Later, he prepared those plain arms license books like his own arms license and made them fake by manipulating the unique number of his license. Fake arms licenses were prepared by stamping them and in order to get arms for those who had the license, Pramendra himself used to wear army uniform and go to the gun house with a fake arms license and get arms pistols, rifles, revolvers, guns. Pramendra used to give fake arms licenses to those people. But the weapons were purchased from gun houses located in Meerut, Bulandshahr and Noida, to whom Pramendra had given fake arms licenses. He was not aware that his arms license was fake.
Since Pramendra was in uniform, even the gun house people did not doubt him. Pramendra and Amit Mutreja had a fight over money transactions and a case was filed between them, in which the police used to go to Pramendra's house to arrest him, that is why out of fear, he destroyed all the arms licenses and hid the weapons. Were. After that Pramendra went to jail. After coming from jail, all the license holders were repeatedly asking Pramendra to renew their arms licenses and return the weapons, then Pramendra was trying to somehow get the arms license renewed by making a fake one and putting a stamp on it etc. Return them. Now that the election season was going on, Pramendra was afraid that the police might come to know about all this and raid his house, hence he was trying to make it quickly and return it.
