A Riyadh-bound passenger was arrested at the Indira Gandhi International Airport here after he was allegedly found carrying a country-made pistol, a forbidden item, during the security check, officials said today.

On duty CISF officials detected a country-made pistol in his bag.
The Central Industrial Security Force later handed him over to Delhi police which arrested him under the Arms Act, they said.
