A 21-year-old man was arrested after a video of him travelling in a rash and negligent manner in an open-top four-wheeler while brandishing a firearm went viral on social media.
The incident, which took place near a popular hotel on Road No. 1, Banjara Hills, caused panic among the public.
The Banjara Hills Police registered a case based on the viral video and apprehended the accused, identified as Afeezuddin, a resident of Sanath Nagar. In the video, Afeezuddin can be seen sitting beside the driver and flashing the firearm before placing it at the dashboard of the convertible four-wheeler.
The car driver was also taken into custody, and the open-top vehicle along with the firearm—later identified as an air rifle—was seized.
According to police, Afeezuddin is a videographer by profession and frequently uses the air rifle to create social media reels. “On the night of the incident, he recorded a video while holding the rifle in the moving vehicle, violating legal provisions under the Arms Act,” said the police. The police have urged the public to refrain from such acts, warning that they could lead to legal consequences.
