A chilling incident in Uttar Pradesh’s Hardoi district has gone viral: 21‑year‑old Ariba Khan brandishes her father’s licensed .32‑bore revolver at a CNG station attendant following a dispute over safety protocols. Captured on CCTV, she threatened, “Itni goliyaan maarungi ki ghar wale pehchaan na kar paayenge” — sparking outrage across social media. According to local police, the weapon and 25 live cartridges have been seized, and a case has been filed under the Arms Act and relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Her father’s arms license is now likely to be revoked.
