New Delhi- A 21-year-old man, carrying a country-made pistol inside his luggage, was caught by the personnel of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at a Metro Station in the national capital on Wednesday, an official said.
The said passenger was identified as Nishant Upadhayay, a resident of Agra in Uttar Pradesh.
The official said the incident took place around 10 a.m. when the CISF personnel were screening people’s baggage through an X-BIS machine at Hazrat Nizamuddin metro station.
