Delhi Police recovers 2,000 live cartridges ahead of I-Day

New Delhi: Ahead of Independence Day, the Delhi Police has recovered around 2,000 live cartridges, officials said on Friday.

The recovery was done by the east district of the Delhi Police, they said.

The police has been maintaining strict vigil in the city ahead of the I-Day celebrations. Officials are yet to reveal more details on the seizure but six people are reported to have been arrested.

Friday's incident comes just days after an 'active ISIS member' was arrested in the national capital earlier this week. The accused is a second-year student of Jamia Millia Islamia University.

India is set to mark its 75th Independence Day on Monday and elaborate arrangements have been done for the occasion. Cops in many states are alert in view of security concerns.

The government has been holding multiple special events under the "Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav" initiative.
