In a startling incident, two live bullets were recovered from the school bag of a Class 8 student at a private school in Karthikappally in Kerala’s Alappuzha district.
The discovery was made during a routine inspection carried out by school authorities to check for the possible presence of narcotic substances among students.
According to the school management,
periodic checks are conducted during break intervals as part of a broader drive to curb drug use and ensure campus safety.
During one such inspection, teachers scrutinising the bags of high-school students stumbled upon two rounds of ammunition typically used in a handgun.
The sudden discovery alarmed the staff, who immediately reported the matter to the police.
