Bag containing bullets create flutter in Srisailam
The recovery of live bullets and empty shells from near a guest house in the temple town of Srisailam created a flutter on Monday.
Srisailam Circle Inspector G. Prasada Rao said workers, while cleaning the town, found a red bag lying adjacent to the road divider in front of Vasavi Guest House. When they opened it, they found live bullets in it. Terrified, they alerted the police.
Bomb Disposal Squad and police rushed to the spot and took the bag into their possession. They found six live 303 calibre bullets, five SLR bullets, four 9 mm bullets and four empty SLR shells. The bag was handed over to Sunnipenta police station for investigation. Police are verifying CCTV footage to ascertain who had left the bag.
Senior officials ruled out the involvement of Maoists and said the Nallamala forest ranges were free of Maoist movement from the past decade or even more.
Sources said that the bullets belonged to special party police and handed over to the officials concerned.
