Officials said 33 live rounds of .22 calibre gun were recovered from the baggage of the woman identified as D S Gupta during scanning of her baggage yesterday at terminal 1D of the IGIA by CISF security personnel.
The lady was supposed to have travelled to Dimapur with her husband, they said.
"She was asked to produce documents for having the bullets but she could not furnish any valid papers in this regard," a Central Industrial Security Force spokesperson said.
Carrying bullet rounds during air travel are against aviation rules and is considered violation of Arms Act.
