Earlier in August, the Airport Security Force (ASF) had seized six bullets from Sharjah-bound flyer’s luggage at the Multan International Airport.

According to ASF officials, six bullets had been found in the luggage of a passenger during checking at the airport. The woman in her initial statement told the officials that the bullets were mistakenly placed in his luggage. She tendered a written apology and was allowed to board her flight.

In another incident of the same nature back in February, bullets were recovered in the baggage of a woman at the Islamabad airport. Seven bullets were found in the luggage of Miraj Bibi, a resident of KP’s Mohmand agency, according to ASF officials.

She, however, was allowed to board a Kuwait-bound flight (KU-206) after she told the officials that the bullets were erroneously placed in the luggage.
