New Delhi: A 53-year-old priest was arrested with 500 rounds of ammunition from the domestic airport on Tuesday morning.
The accused, Sunil Bhim Rao Sardar, a resident of South Extension Part II, was minutes away from boarding a domestic flight to Maharashtra before being intercepted and handed over to the Delhi police by Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) security, R.A. Sanjeev, DCP (IGIA), said.
“He told us that he had bought the 500 cartridges of .22 bore from Los Angeles during his trip to the US and wanted to gift these to his friend in Maharashtra. He was handed over to us at 10 am,” DCP Sanjeev said.
The priest admitted to have bought ten boxes of the ammunition, 50 rounds in each box, for $35 over the counter from the US and, during questioning, said that he had done so once earlier, too, the police said.
The cartridges of the said specification are usually used for hunting by means of small arms.
