The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) will investigate the recovery of 14 'POF' (Pakistan Ordnance Factory) marked live bullets recovered from Kulathupuzha in Kollam district and DGP Kerala will get in touch with his counterparts in other states for investigation.
Director-General of Police (DGP), Kerala Lokanath Behera on Sunday said, "ATS will investigate the matter. We need outside state co-ordination. I will speak with other states DGPs regarding this. We have also alerted the central investigation agencies. The mark in the bullets suggests it is foreign-made."
