Non-bailable warrant against ex-MP's son who waved gun

New Delhi: A Delhi court on Wednesday issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against the son of a former BSP MP for allegedly brandishing a pistol at guests and threatening them in the foyer of a five-star hotel here, a video of which went viral on the social media.

Metropolitan Magistrate Ambika Singh issued warrants against Ashish Pandey, who hails from Lucknow and is the son of former Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), MP Rakesh Pandey.

The court passed the order on the plea of Delhi Police which had registered an FIR on the complaint of the assistant security manager of The Hyatt Regency alleging that one person was flagging pistol in his hand in the porch area of the hotel after a tiff with a guest.

The police told the court that during the investigation, the CCTV footage of the incident was obtained and the identity of the accused was established as Lucknow native Ashish Pandey.
