Cops hunt for NRI caught with bullets

New Delhi: The cops have launched a hunt for a US-based Indian from whose bag live cartridges were recovered at IGI Airport on Tuesday.
The Delhi police have sought help from their Kolkata counterparts to locate Subroto Lahiri, reportedly a professor at a US university, who gave investigators the slip on Friday. Cops lost track of him even though he was in their custody earlier. Lahiri was to board a morning flight to Kolkata on Friday but instead took a different flight later that day, police said. Lahiri was detained on Tuesday after CISF personnel recovered live cartridges from a bag he left behind in the coach.
During questioning, Lahiri complained of chest pain and was admitted to a medical unit at the airport. He was later shifted to a hospital in Vasant Kunj and was discharged on Thursday.
Lahiri was scheduled to board the Kingfisher flight on Friday morning. But according to sources, he took a different flight. His relatives in Kolkata claimed he had not reached.
