Hardoi (Uttar Pradesh): In a shocking incident in Uttar Pradesh's Hardoi district, a woman pulled a revolver on a petrol pump employee after he allegedly misbehaved with her father.

Argument At Petrol Pump Led Turns Ugly
According to reports, Ehsan Khan, a resident of Shahabad, had arrived at the petrol pump with his wife and daughter, Ariba Khan, on Sunday to refuel his vehicle. While getting the CNG filled, a verbal altercation broke out between Ehsan Khan and a pump employee named Rajneesh Kumar over an unspecified issue. The heated exchange quickly escalated, leading the staffer allegedly pushing Ehsan on the chest, which was captured on camera.
The viral video shows his daughter, visibly enraged after witnessing her father being shoved, running to the car, retrieving a revolver and pointing it directly at the employee’s chest. Bystanders at the scene intervened promptly, de-escalating the situation before any shots were fired. Reports quoting eyewitnesses claim the girl shouted threats at the employee, reportedly saying, "Itni goliyaan maroongi ki ghar wale bhi pehchanne se mana kar denge"(I will shoot so many bullets that even your family won’t be able to identify your body).

Following the incident, the petrol pump staffer Rajneesh Kumar filed a formal complaint at the Kotwali police station.
