‘Innocent’ cartridge carrier in cop custody

Ranchi: Ajay Kumar Sinha, a Pune-based young software engineer, was arrested from Ranchi airport this morning for carrying 6 unlicensed cartridges in his hand baggage along with his late mother’s jewellery items.
He was arrested while trying to board an Air Deccan Ranchi-Calcutta flight.
Sinha’s mother died on May 9 and he was returning along with her jewellery items kept in a red cloth that also had the bullets, he claims to have no ideas about.
Sinha’s father is a retired engineer from HEC who lives at Hinoo. What is surprising is that the family never owned any firearms and still the bullets are apparently looking very old.
Both the central industrial security force (CISF) and Doranda police believe the engineer is innocent since he was not carrying any firearm, but expressed helplessness since the security of airport and plane were sensitive issues that needed utmost care.
The police official said Sinha was fully co operating in the investigations. The offence is bailable, he added.
