*LAHORE* - Indian citizen carrying a pistol went undetected Tuesday on the Wagah border following power failure on the Pakistani side.
The weapon, which was hidden in a pressure cooker, was recovered during snap-checking at Attari border through trained dogs.
The citizen, 75-year-old Multan Ahmed had arrived in Pakistan on April 13 with his brother Nasir to meet his family in Multan.
According to Pakistan’s Customs, recurrent power outage during the day had caused the scanner to become inoperative, leading to manual checking of the luggage.
The elderly man informed Indian immigration authorities during investigation that a Lahore resident one Abdul Rehman had handed over a pressure cooker box to him, which, he wanted to be given over to his friend. The unnamed, however, hadn’t shared the whereabouts of his friend.
