The Military intelligence has arrived in Kerala and will be joining the NIA, which is expected to begin probe into the recovery of 14 Pakistan-made bullets from Kulathupuzha.

These bullets were found on Saturday about 70 km from here in Kulathupuzha that borders the forests of Tamil Nadu. The bullets were packed in a plastic bag and covered in a Malayalam newspaper printed from Kollam.

Two youths travelling on a bike, found the suspicious package and after uncovering the bullets, immediately informed the police.
