On June 2, former MLA and actor Karunas was stopped by airport officials from boarding the flight at Chennai International Airport in Tamil Nadu. The authorities were shocked after they checked the actor’s bag, took immediate possession of it and began interrogating him. They allegedly found 40 bullets in his bag. As per reports, Karunas was intending to board a flight to Trichy, when he was stopped by the security officials and was denied entry to the flight. During inquiries, it was found that Karunas had a licence for a firearm and he claimed that the bullets were accidentally kept in his bag. After a thorough interrogation, he was allowed to go.
Reportedly, Karunas produced all the necessary documents for the 40 live bullets that were found in his bag. He claimed that during the elections when the Code of Conduct was in force, he followed the rules and deposited his gun at the police station near his residence in the Dindigul district. He further clarified that before leaving for the airport, he could not check the bag properly and was in quite a hurry. To prove his innocence, he also showed the document of the gun deposited at the police station. Finally, the bullets were returned to him and no case was registered against him.
