<p>"Among the arms recovered from Enayatpur is a INSAS rifle whose arsenal number matches that of a rifle missing from the Shilda camp since the attack.

A case has been registered by the East Midnapore district police superintendent and the culprits will be arrested soon," he said.<br /><br />Mukherjee said the possibility of a CPI-M link to the Maoist attack would be looked into also because Shilda and its adjoining areas were under the party's dominance.<br /><br />He said that besides the INSAS rifle, the haul from under a mound of hay in Enayatpur comprised one AK-56 rifle, eight .315 rifles, a US-made 30.06 rifle, one .375 rifle, 22 pipe guns and 136 rounds of ammunition.<br /><br />The arms, wrapped in plastic, were spotted by villagers who informed the police.
