58-year-old Mohinder Surdhar, dubbed as the “Breaking Bad of the gun world” has been jailed for 14 years after he supplied weapons to criminal gangs all over the UK.
PhD-educated Surdhar, from Handsworth, Birmingham, is said to have acted as a middleman for the firearms dealer Paul Edmunds, 66, who made his home in the countryside a mini munitions factory.
It is said that Surdhar used lawful firearms certificate to collect weapons which were then given to crooks for up to £3,000 for each firearm.
Mohinder Surdhar admitted conspiracy to transfer prohibited firearms and ammunition at Birmingham Crown Court and was given a 14-year jail sentence.
The court also heard how Surdhar allegedly used code words such as “watches” for guns and “batteries” for bullets on WhatsApp to arrange gun sales.
