Woman Youtuber films video with gun in hand. Uttar Pradesh Police reacts

Simran Yadav, a popular YouTuber, has created a controversy after she was filmed dancing on a highway in Lucknow while holding a pistol in hand.

The clip, which was posted on "X' by Advocate Kalyanji Chaudhary, shows Simran grooving to a Bhojpuri song in the middle of the road, openly displaying a gun in her hands.

Chaudhary's post read, "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, but the officials are maintaining silence," while tagging the authorities.


The video rapidly became popular on social media, leading the Lucknow Police to promptly take notice and respond. They stated that an investigation into the matter had been instructed to the concerned authorities, with a comment reading, "The concerned have been directed to take necessary action."


One user commented on Chaudhary's post, "Why is she showing a gun and all so casually in the middle of the street with people around? And sharing the same on the internet with such a massive following is simply not acceptable." Another user echoed the sentiment, stating, "I hope the authorities will take some kind of action against her reel. This is not corrected."

Simran Yadav has not yet commented on the controversy related to her viral video despite having a large following on Instagram and YouTube. The authorities are yet to decide on the actions to be taken in response to Simran Yadav's alleged disregard for the law and public safety as the incident garners attention and criticism.

India has very strict gun laws. The law requires a person to obtain permission from the district magistrate to possess and carry a gun.

It states, "The licensee or any retainer acting under this licence shall not carry any arms covered thereby otherwise than in good faith for the purpose of sport/protection/display; and, save where he is specially authorized in this behalf by the District Magistrate concerned, he shall not take any such arms to a fair, religious procession or other public assemblage (or within the campus or precincts of any educational institution)."
