Indian priest held in U.S.

Washington June 13. An Indian priest was arrested aboard a Seattle-bound United Airlines flight for carrying a four-inch knife.

The 45-year-old Nityaprakash Das was arrested on Wednesday after a flight attendant saw him pull out the knife to cut a piece of fruit, said Mike McCarron, spokesman for the San Francisco International Airport. The attendant asked him to hand over the knife, but when he refused, a U.S. marshal on board arrested him. — PTI
