HARYANA, India (CU)_Airports seem like a hot spot for drama these days as people think it’s a joke to cause scenes. But sometimes whilst it’s a harmless joke there are serious accusations as well. This is exactly what happened when a Haryana man was arrested at Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport after a live cartridge was recovered from him during the screening of the luggage.
The arrest was made on Saturday evening when the suspect was going to board a flight to Dubai. Most people didn’t take the situation seriously as there had been multiple joke threats made. But it seems this was not a joke at all and this man may have been wanting to cause some kind of harm either at the airport or even in a nearby vicinity.
According to the police, the suspect was later on identified as a man by the name of Lucky Chauhan who is a resident of Ambala district in Haryana. Ankush, the in-charge of the screening section of the security wing, had told the police that while screening the luggage, he found a 5.56 mm live cartridge in a wrap of papers which belonged to the suspect.
The thing is it isn’t illegal to carry a fire arm or even cartridges on a flight as long as there is the proper documentation for it. But here the problem had been that the man could not provide the needed legal documents as to why he had this in his possession. The security at the airport apprehended the suspect after he failed to produce any kind of document that was required by the law for the need to carry the cartridge. Police registered a case against Lucky Chauhan under relevant sections of the Arms Act.
