As many as 464 live rounds were recovered from an empty train at Ajni railway station here, a senior Railway Protection Force (RPF) official said Thursday.

The bullets, which were found inside a box in the train, were recovered on Wednesday, he said.

"The train in which the bullets were found was on election duty. It had reached Ajni station on Wednesday morning after dropping para-military and security forces in Telangana, where Assembly polls are scheduled to be held on December 7," Senior Divisional Security Commissioner, RPF, Central Railway Jyotikumar Satija told PTI.

The box filled with 464 live bullets was found kept under a seat of a railway coach, he said.

 

According to the official, the bullets probably belonged to the personnel of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP).

Further investigation is on.
