Fresh details have emerged in the case involving Ghankanta. On October 16, 2024, Ghankanta reportedly purchased a .32 bore pistol from Swasti Gun House in Dimapur, Nagaland.
According to the information received, he purchased the pistol along with 40 rounds of ammunition for a total amount of Rs 3 lakh.
