Police have detained a man after a video of a gun being pointed at a woman in the Vasundhara Eco Park colony in Bhurarani, Rudrapur, went viral on social media. According to Dainik Bhaskar, police said the video surfaced at about 10 pm on November 9 and shows a man pointing a gun towards a woman. The preliminary probe found that the row began after a handpump was broken by the man's vehicle, and he showed the woman the gun during it; the probe found the gun was an airgun. Senior sub-inspector Khushwant Singh and additional sub-inspector Naveen Joshi of the kotwali detained him during checking at about 5:30 pm under Section 172 of the BNSS and took action under the Police Act. Further legal action will be taken once the woman submits a complaint. On November 10, labourer families living outside the colony had alleged in Bhaskar that when they objected to a tap in front of their homes being broken by a car, a woman was pushed down and abused, a country-made pistol was pointed at her, and women and children were beaten.
