A woman flier was arrested at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here for allegedly carrying live bullets in her baggage, officials said today.
They said the incident occurred around 9:00 PM yesterday when Priyanka A, travelling to Lucknow, was intercepted by CISF personnel as she was carrying four bullets of 7.65-mm calibre in her baggage.
