Delhi Metro Security Alert: CISF Nabs Fleeing Passenger With Suspected Gold Powder
A security alert was triggered at Delhi's Jama Masjid Metro Station after CISF personnel intercepted a passenger carrying 155 grams of a suspected gold powder-like substance. The passenger, identified as Mohammad Shoaib, attempted to flee up the stairs when called for physical frisking following an X-ray scan. Alert CISF personnel chased and apprehended him near the gate. A subsequent search revealed the semi-solid material concealed inside a specially stitched section of his undergarments and backpack. The passenger, who claimed to be an NRI residing in Malaysia, failed to produce valid documentation or explanations for the substance. He was handed over to Delhi Police after narcotics testing returned negative and Customs cited jurisdictional limitations.
