Amritsar: Fourteen .32 bore pistol cartridges were seized from the baggage of Sufi singer Pyare Lal Wadali at Rajasansi Airport today, shortly before he boarded a flight for Delhi from Amritsar.
Officials said Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel seized the bullets during the baggage screening at the airport.
When Mr Wadali was questioned, he instantly admitted that the cartridges belonged to him but were mistakenly brought in his baggage. He also produced his .32 bore pistol licence.
The CISF, customs and immigration officials besides intelligence officials present at the airport allowed him to take the Jetlite flight from Amritsar to Delhi when they were convinced with his version that the cartridges were packed mistakenly in his luggage.
The cartridges were, however, confiscated by the CISF and Mr Wadali was issued a warning to remain careful in future.
The Wadali brothers group of famous Sufi singers have performed in various Bollywood movies, including Pinjer.
Pyare Lal Wadali, his brother Puran Chand Wadali and son Lakhwinder Wadali have performed at many international platforms. The Wadalis have an ancestral house at the Wadali village near Chehertha in Amritsar where they live as a joint family.
