An Ahmedabad-bound passenger was apprehended at the Delhi airport today for allegedly carrying seven live bullet rounds in his baggage, an official said today.
A CISF officer, deputed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) to scan the baggage of commuters, detected bullet-like objects on the x-ray monitor while checking the bag of passenger J Chauhan.
"Seven live bullet rounds of 7.62mm calibre were recovered from the passenger who was travelling to Ahmedabad," the official said.
Chauhan was not allowed to take the flight and was handed over to the police as he could not produce any documents for carrying the ammunition, the official said, adding that the man was later booked under sections of the Arms Act.
