Shockingly, the two brothers passed through two CISF posts before the ammunition was detected.
No FIR has been filed for now, but the singers have been asked to appear before the Commandant on Monday for further formalities.
When Wadali was questioned, he instantly admitted that the cartridges belonged to him but were mistakenly brought in his baggage. He also produced his licence of .32 bore pistol.
The CISF, customs and immigration officials besides the intelligence sleuths present at the airport allowed him to board the Jetlite flight from Amritsar to Delhi when they were convinced with his version that the cartridges were packed mistakenly in his luggage.
The cartridges were, however, confiscated by the CISF, which provides security to airports and guards other vital installations, and Wadali was issued a warning to remain careful in future.
The Wadali brothers group of famous Sufi singers have performed in various Bollywood movies, including 'Pinjer'.
Pyare Lal Wadali, his brother Puran Chand Wadali and son Lakhwinder Wadali have performed at many international platforms. The Wadalis have an ancestral house at Wadali village near Chehertha in Amritsar where they live as a joint family.
