Dibrugarh: Security personnel discovered a 9mm bullet in passenger Sambhu Dayal Sharma's bag during a security check at Dibrugarh Airport in Assam on Monday evening.

According to reports, security personnel detained the passenger at the Airport.

The passenger, Simbhu Dayal, was about to board an IndiGo flight to Rajasthan when security detected the bullet at the checkpoint.

Airport authorities immediately stopped Dayal, who has been living in Longding, Arunachal Pradesh, for several years due to his business activities.
