The Maharashtra Police have returned 1,430 of the 4,600 bulletproof jackets they received following the 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai, as they failed the AK-47 bullet test during trials.&nbsp;

&ldquo;We have sent back more than 1,400 bulletproof jackets to the manufacturer as they did not pass our test with AK-47 bullets,&rdquo; Additional DGP (Procurement and Coordination) V V Laxminarayana said.

The Jackets returned to a Kanpur-based manufacturing firm were from three different batches.&nbsp;

The police department had ordered 5,000 bulletproof vests. During the trials conducted at the Chandigarh-based Central Forensic Science Laboratory, only around 3,000 jackets passed the test, an officer said.

The state police started receiving the consignment of jackets in the last quarter of 2017 &mdash; the ninth anniversary year of the attacks.
