Hyderabad: A 37-year-old man working in Kuwait was caught carrying a live bullet at the RGI Airport on Sunday. Musheer Ahmed, a native of Talabkatta, was returning to work after vacation.
Police said Md Musheer Ahmed went to Kuwait two years ago to work as a domestic help in the residence of Saqer Al Baidar, a police officer in Kuwait. Two months ago, he came home on vacation and after holidays, he was returning to Kuwait on Sunday.
Musheer Ahmed was scheduled to leave by an early morning flight of Oman Airlines, when he was intercepted by airport security personnel, who found a live bullet of a .38 SPL rifle concealed in his baggage.
He was detained and handed over to airport police for further inquiry. Police found that before flying to India he took an old used bag of his owner police officer Saqer Al Baidar and did not see the bullet lying in it.
The bullet was not detected when he landed at the Hyderabad airport two months ago. “He was booked under the Arms Act and remanded to custody,” RGIA sub inspector V. Srinivas said. Police is investigating.
