New Delhi: A 42-year-old woman was arrested at the Delhi airport for carrying a country-made pistol and live ammunition in her cabin baggage, police said. Vandana Kaushal was set to board an IndiGo flight (6E 177) to Mumbai at the Indira Gandhi International Airport when a country-made pistol (katta) and one live round was found in her cabin baggage during screening on Sunday.
The undeclared firearm was detected in her baggage by officials of the private airport operator Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) during screening.
DIAL officials immediately informed the airline security who asked Kaushal if she was carrying necessary documents for carrying a firearm.
"The airline informed us and when the passenger was questioned about the firearm, she replied that her servant must have put it inside her cabin baggage by mistake," said a senior police official who didn't wish to be identified.
