The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) police on Saturday arrested a city-based student pursuing his masters in Oakland, California, for allegedly carrying a live bullet in his baggage.
Central Industrial Security Force personnel at the airport found a bullet in Mahender Kumar Chowdhary’s baggage during the security check, while he was flying back to the US on Saturday. He was handed over to RGIA police for investigation.
“During interrogation, Chowdhary, a resident of Secunderabad, confessed that two years ago, a friend presented him the bullet in the US to wear it as a locket and he was not aware that it was live,” said Ch. Dhanunjaya, SI, RGIA police. A case was registered against Chowdhary, who was later released on bail.
