Mumbai: The Andheri metropolitian magistrate court pardoned a US citizen Christopher Willis who was arrested and charged for possessing a bullet at the Santa Cruz airport. He can now return to his homeland.
Willis was travelling to India to work with a charity organisation that works on water preservation projects across Maharashtra.
On January 11, 2013, the Santa Cruz Airport police arrested the 28-year-old in the morning after he was found carrying a 0.40 mm live cartridge. Willis was on his way to Pune to work with a charity organisation.
He was found carrying the bullet by the CISF — in charge of the Airport security — when his bag was put in the X-ray machine.
