Bullets: Case registered against Pinarayi

Chennai: The airport police have registered a case against CPI(M) Kerala State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan, for failing to produce the original licence of his pistol and take back ammunition that had been collected from him on February 16 at the Kamaraj domestic terminal.
Mr. Vijayan had at that point produced a photocopy of the licence and agreed to collect the ammunition, which he said was left in his bag inadvertently, after furnishing the original document.
Mr. Vijayan had come to Chennai by a private airline. When he was about to board a New Delhi-bound flight, CISF personnel checked his hand baggage and found five rounds of ammunition.
Police sources said cases had been filed under sections 11 (penalty for flying so as to cause danger) and 12 (penalty for abetment of offences and attempted offences) of the Aircraft Act, 1934 along with section 30 (punishment for contraventions of licence or rule) of the Indian Arms Act, 1959.]
