Police arrested a 38-year-old Indian national at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Sunday morning after he was found to be carrying guns in his luggage.
Raj Singh, who was supposed to board a 7 a.m. flight to Singapore and then proceed to India, was collared at the initial security check section of Terminal 1. His suitcase yielded two .38 caliber revolvers with six live bullets and two empty shells.
Chief Inspector Jonathan Galang, 1st Police Center for Aviation Security (PCAS) Terminal 1 Station head, said the guns were discovered and were immediately seized.
"He was arrested and identified through his travel documents," he told The STAR in an interview, noting that Singh is now detained at the PNP-ASG detention cell.
Singh, who gave a Mabini Extension, Cabanatuan City as his Philippine address and Punjab, VPO Madhek, Republic of India as his home country residence, will face at least two criminal charges before the Pasay City Prosecutor’s Office.
In a report to Morada, 1st PCAS chief Senior Superintendent Efren Labiang said Singh tried to hide his guns by wrapping them in a black garbage bag.
The revolvers, a Smith and Wesson and one with a defaced serial number, were also wrapped in carbon paper in an apparent effort to avoid detection.
