Woman in India pulls a gun on petrol station worker during argument, video of incident goes viral
The incident began when the fuel attendant (left) asked the woman's family to step out of their car before refuelling. - SCREENGRAB FROM PHIR NAMO PHIR MODI/FACEBOOK SINGAPORE: Upset that a petrol station employee had pushed her father during an argument, a woman in north India's Uttar Pradesh state pulled out a gun and threatened to 'shoot so many bullets' into the worker's body. A video of the incident, which took place in Hardoi district on June 15, went viral online. In the video, the woman is seen walking up to the station 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 outlets as the woman's mother – pull her away, separating her from the employee. The woman holds up the gun to another onlooker before walking away with her mother trailing behind her. The family reportedly left the scene after that. According to Indian English-language newspaper The Economic Times, quoting the police, the incident began when 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. This led to Kumar pushing the woman's father, Ehsan Khan, prompting the woman, identified as 21-year-old Ariba Khan, to step in. The Economic Times reported that Kumar has filed a police report. Legal notices were also issued by the police to Khan and her parents. The revolver, which was legally owned by Khan, and 25 live bullets have also been seized. 'The accused said the... station worker abused them, following which they got furious and took out the revolver,' said The Times of India, quoting a police officer. Further investigations are under way. Khan is reportedly a business owner, while his daughter is a student pursuing medicine. - The Straits Times/ANN
