A Kochi-bound man was on Thursday apprehended at the Delhi airport for allegedly carrying six live bullet rounds in his baggage, an official said.

R Kumar was going through the security checks at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) around 5:30 am when a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel detected few "bullet-like" objects in his hand baggage, he said.

"Six live bullet rounds of .32mm calibre were recovered from his baggage. The man was handed over to the police as he could not produce any documents for carrying the ammunition," the official added.

The man was supposed to take a flight to Kochi, he said.
