A Karachi-bound ship intercepted on the Hoogli river on Friday, was carrying arms and ammunition used by different nations that had participated in the UN peacekeeping mission in Liberia, a police officer said on Saturday.
The union home ministry has asked the security agencies to bring the Liberia-registered 'Aegean Glory' to the Kolkata dock for a thorough investigation. The ship is likely to reach on Sunday noon, West Bengal DGP Bhupinder Singh said.
The ship was slated to unload the military cargo at different ports to return the weapons of the nations that participated in UNMIL that began in 2003 to contain the conflict arising out of the second Liberian civil war.
