The man claimed he was the manager of Mizoram Rifles Club. Police did not reveal his identity.

The police have seized all the live cartridges and the man was booked under the provisions of the Arms Act.

He told the police that he is a manager of Mizoram Rifles Club and that the cartridges were for the club.

"When asked to produce the papers, the man said he was not carrying them," said the officer.

The man has been handed over to Delhi Police's Special Cell for investigation.
