CHENNAI: CISF personnel found three live rounds and a firearm magazine in the hand baggage of a woman passenger during security screening at Terminal 1 of Chennai airport on Saturday morning.
The passenger was travelling with her family to Kochi on an IndiGo flight scheduled to depart at 8am. Around 6.40am, during pre-embarkation security screening, CISF personnel noticed a suspicious image in her hand baggage and referred it for physical checking.
