Agartala: The Tripura Police on Saturday began an inquiry into the recovery of a bullet from the baggage of Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi's aide and Youth Congress leader Anil Dhantori at the airport here.
"Police have begun investigation over the recovery of the bullet from the baggage of Dhantori under Section 157 (a) of the CrPC (Criminal Procedure Code, 1973)," police officer Babul Das told reporters.
"This is suspected to be a cognizable offence and that's why the police invoke this Section of the CrPc," he added.
Dhantori, also a member of the Haryana Assembly, came to Tripura early this week to oversee Gandhi's programme in the state on Thursday.
He was detained by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at the Agartala airport on Thursday evening after the recovery of a pistol bullet from his hand baggage when he was about to board a Delhi-bound private aircraft.
Police said: "The CISF, following the persuasion of the local Congress leaders, released Dhantori without handing him over to the Tripura Police."
