A manhunt has been launched to nab the absconding son of former BSP MP Rakesh Pandey, who was booked, for brandishing a pistol in the foyer of a Hyatt Regency in South Delhi.
After the video of the Sunday incident went viral, Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju said the Delhi Police had initiated action in the case.
A team of the Delhi Police reached Lucknow on Tuesday in connection with the investigation into the incident in which the accused has been identified as Ashish Pandey, who hails from Lucknow and whose brother, Ritesh Pandey, is a sitting MLA in Uttar Pradesh.
One of the victims said the accused walked up to him and hurled abuses. It is suspected that both the parties involved were drunk at the time of the incident, said police officials.
