28-year-old man held with bullet round at Delhi Metro station

A 28-year-old man has been apprehended at a Delhi Metro station for allegedly carrying a live bullet in his baggage, officials said on Sunday.

V Rana, hailing from Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly district, was found carrying a live round by CISF personnel at the Nangloi station when his bag was being scanned last night, they said.

Rana could not furnish any license or document for carrying the bullet round, suspected to be of a country-wide pistol, the officials said.

He was handed over to the Delhi Police by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) team for further investigation, they said.

The man was later booked under sections of the Arms Act meant to prosecute cases of illegal transport of ammunition.
