A Mumbai-bound passenger was apprehended by CISF personnel at the Delhi airport on Wednesday for carrying a bullet in his luggage, officials said.
The passenger was supposed to take an Indigo flight but was de-boarded, they said. He was intercepted by the Central Industrial Security Force personnel during security checks at the terminal-III of the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport at around 7 am.
As the passenger could not furnish any valid authorisation for carrying the 5.56 mm calibre bullet, he was handed over to the Delhi Police, they said.
Helicopter carrying CEC Kumar makes emergency landing
Pithoragarh: A helicopter carrying Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar had to make an emergency landing in a village near Munsiyari due to bad weather on Wednesday, an official said.
Pithoragarh District Magistrate Vinod Girish Goswami said the chopper, which was on its way to Milam Glacier, left at around 1 pm.
However, due to the cloudy weather and low visibility, it landed on a helipad in Ralam village, 42 km away, at around 1.30 pm, he said.
Additional Chief Election Officer of Uttarakhand Vijay Kumar Jogdande is with the CEC, he said.
There were three people on board the helicopter apart from the pilot. They are all safe and waiting for the weather to clear up to return to Munsiyari, the DM said.
They have the necessary communication equipment including satellite phones, he added.
"I have talked to the CEC twice. They are all safe. If the weather clears up, they will be taken back to Munsiyari and if it does not, they will rest at the ITBP camp near Ralam," the DM said. |
