A video of the incident, which took place in the Hardoi district on June 15 , went viral online. In it, the woman is seen walking up to the attendant with a .32 bore licensed revolver in her hand. She then presses the muzzle of the gun into the man's chest, forcing him to take a few steps back. She is heard saying in Hindi : ' I will shoot so many bullets that even your family won't be able to identify your body.' In an attempt to defuse the situation, a man and another woman - identified by local media as the woman's mother - pull her away, separating her from the employee. The woman then holds up the gun to another onlooker before walking away with her mother trailing behind her. The family then reportedly left the scene. According to local media The Economic Times , quoting the police, the incident began when the fuel attendant Rajnish Kumar asked the woman's family to step out of their car before refuelling, as part of a standard safety measure. However, the family refused to comply, sparking an argument.

The Economic Times reported that Mr Kumar has filed a police report. Legal notices were also issued by the police to Ms Khan and her parents . The revolver, which was legally owned by Mr Khan, and 25 live bullets have also been seized.
