A 45-year-old man was arrested by JJ Marg police last week for stealing a bag containing 60 live rounds of bullets that belonged to Local Arms Unit I of the Mumbai Police. The team had visited JJ hospital for the medical examination of an under-trial lodged in Arthur Road jail when the incident took place.

At around 9 am, three constables attached with Local Arms-1 took a prisoner to JJ hospital. "He has an injury on his leg and was thus asked by the jail doctor to be examined at JJ hospital. One of the cops escorting him had a rifle and 60 live rounds of 7.65 mm bullets in his bag," an officer said.
