Hasn went hunting in Texas before India trip

Mumbai: US national Henry Hasn (45) who was arrested at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport for allegedly carrying seven live cartridges in his jacket pocket told police officials that he might have forgotten to remove the bullets from the jacket before leaving Texas for India.
Hasn, an electronics engineer, mentioned in his statement that on March 11, prior to his leaving for India on March 12, he had gone out hunting in Texas.
The bullets that were seized by the CISF at the airport have been handed over to the Sahar police.
"The bullets found in Hasn's possession are .22 bore bullets that are similar to those he used to hunt animals. He has a licence to keep pistols used for hunting and regular ones as well...,'' said inspector Nitin Yadav of Sahar police station. From Mumbai, he left for Hyderabad to work at the Rajahmundry oil rig for four weeks. Yadav said it was shocking that Hasn managed to clear two security checks in Texas and the second one in Amsterdam before reaching Mumbai.
