A 27-year-old man was arrested in suburban Bandra with two country-made pistols and 11 live cartridges on Tuesday, a Mumbai Police crime branch official said.

The arrest was made near Rangsharda Bhavan on a day when tight security is in place in the city in view of the Dussehra rallies of two Shiv Sena factions, immersion of idols of Goddess Durga, and for an ICC World Cup cricket match.
