Israeli man detained in India for carrying live cartridge of ammunition leftover from IDF service

An Israeli man was detained at Kangra airport in northern India for carrying a live cartridge of ammunition in his luggage, according to Indian media. The Kangra Superintendent of Police, Kulbhushan Verma, informed that the young man was unaware of the cartridge's presence in his military service bag. A live cartridge was discovered during security checks at the airport on Tuesday, leading to the registration of a case under Section 25(1)(A) of the Arms Act, 1959, and the arrest of the accused.

The Israeli man will remain in custody for two days after being interrogated and examined by a court. Authorities have initiated an investigation into the source of the cartridge and plan to pursue further legal proceedings. Israel's embassy in Delhi and the Foreign Ministry have not yet commented on the incident. This event follows a recent incident between Israelis and the Hind Rajab Foundation in India, where an Israeli reservist faced a criminal complaint for alleged unlawful destruction of civilian property in Gaza Strip during his military service.

The organization accused him of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. No link has been established between this case and the current detained Israeli.
