The Uttar Pradesh Police responded to a video that showed an Instagram influencer brandishing a gun and dancing to a Bhojpuri song on a Lucknow highway.
Advocate Kalyanji Chaudhary uploaded a 22-second video of Simran Yadav and criticised her for breaking the law and the code of conduct by dancing while holding a gun on the highway.
“Instagram star Simran Yadav of Lucknow is openly flouting the law and code of conduct by waving a pistol on the highway and making a video viral to show off her community’s power in the society,” reads the Hindi-to-English caption of Kalyanji Chaudhary’s post. In his message, he also included a few official Lucknow Police accounts.
