In a surprising turn of events at Badshahnagar Metro Station, a woman was detained after security discovered live ammunition in her possession. The discovery was made during a routine check on Sunday, as her bag passed through the X-ray Baggage Inspection System (XBIS).

The woman, identified as Pratibha Pal, reportedly had 53 live cartridges along with 10 spent casings. Despite being questioned by authorities, she failed to produce any legal documentation for the ammunition, leading to her arrest under the Arms Act.
