Chennai: Three men where held at the Marina beach here for possessing bullets.
Sources said, Dilip (24), a native of Uttar Pradesh, Deetzil (28) and Bykunda (25) from Orissa lived in Perungalathur. The trio were at Marina beach when they approached a tattoo artist on the pavement to get impressions on their body.
The three men, the police said, bargained with the tattoo artist by stating that would sell the three bullets. The bullets were nine mm ones mostly used by Tamilnadu police personnel.
The tattoo artist, without the knowledge of the men, signalled to the patrol police. The police took the men to custody and seized the bullets. An enquiry is underway.
