Air passenger 'smuggles' daggers from Kuwait, held

The Hyderabad police are writing to the authorities of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Shamshabad to verify the claims of an air passenger that he managed to bring in three daggers from Kuwait to city five days ago.
The Hyderabad Police Commissioner's Task Force officials had seized three daggers from the passenger, Md. Younus, after nabbing him at a bar in Madannapet on a tip-off. “He was showing the daggers, believed to have been made in America and purchased by him in Kuwait, to his friends then,” TF (East) Inspector R.G. Siva Maruthi said on Monday.
The 26-year-old Hyderabadi told his interrogators that he had managed to bring in the daggers hoodwinking the authorities at the airports in Dubai and Hyderabad. He maintained that the Dubai airport officials normally don't check the luggage of passengers seriously.
