In a surprising turn of events, Delhi police seized 500 sniper rifle bullets during a routine traffic check in Moti Nagar. The bullets were discovered when officers attempted to stop a suspicious motorcycle, leading to a chase and the eventual abandonment of the vehicle near a traffic stop.

The vehicle, which was stolen and bore a fake registration number, contained ten boxes of 7.62 caliber live cartridges. The sheer quantity and dangerous nature of the bullets prompted an immediate investigation by Delhi Police's anti-terror unit, Special Cell.

According to a senior officer, the bullets could be used in various high-powered rifles and pose a serious threat due to their lethal design. Multiple teams have been mobilized to track down the suspect using CCTV footage and route analysis. Authorities are confident the accused will be apprehended promptly.
