The Airport Authority of India was informed and as the plane's crew did not inform the authorities here that the aircraft was carrying arms, its return flight order was cancelled and nine crew members were detained.


Late in the night, a meeting was held with the airport authorities, customs officials, senior air force officers and the UAE crew about the entire matter.

Finally, permission was granted to the plane to resume its flight on Monday morning, sources said.
