"Possibly, it was abandoned by some commuter before taking the Metro as it would have been recovered by security personnel during manual frisking or x-ray scanning of the baggage," they said. "As the area where the grenade-like object was kept is not under CCTV surveillance and is much behind the security check area, it could not be ascertained as to who kept it there. FARIDABAD: An abandoned hand grenade shaped cigarette lighter today caused some anxious moments for security agencies at a Delhi Metro station here.Officials said the incident was reported from the Sector 28 station (Violet Line) of Faridabad at about 9:30 AM when a passenger informed on-duty CISF personnel about a grenade-like object kept on the wall near an escalator in the station.Soon after, they said, the area was cordoned off by CISF personnel and a bomb disposal and canine squad was rushed in to undertake anti-sabotage checks against the possible ammunition.It was then ascertained that the dark green coloured grenade-like object was only a plastic replica of the original and was a gas lighter used to light cigarettes.
