A 39-year-old man identified as Imran was arrested after a live bullet was recovered from his possession when he went to visit Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at his residence in New Delhi. The incident took place on Monday Imran, a cleric, was intercepted at the gate of Kejriwal’s residence.
During physical frisking, security guards found a live .32mm bullet from Imran’s wallet. Security officials swung into action immediately and arrested the man under Arms Act.
Mohammad Imran told police that he found the bullet in the “donation of a mosque”. He said he had planned to throw it in the Yamuna river but kept it in his wallet instead and later forgot about it. The police are investigating the matter.
Imran was among a dozen clerics who had gone to Arvind Kejriwal’s home for a public hearing with a request to increase the salary paid by the Waqf Board.
This is the second security incident involving the Delhi Chief Minister after a chilli powder attack on him last week.
