Businessman’s revolver threat: altercation in Gurugram park

In a surprising incident at a Gurugram housing society, a liquor businessman was arrested for allegedly pointing a revolver at a boy during a heated altercation between children in the DLF Phase 3 area, as reported local authorities on Thursday.

The disturbing confrontation, caught on camera and widely shared on social media, showed businessman Prateek Sachdeva brandishing his licensed firearm. The police have since seized the weapon after arresting Sachdeva, who was later granted bail after enquiry.

The altercation broke out on Tuesday evening in the Lagoon Apartments park, where the children were playing football. Following a dispute, a child informed his father, who then confronted the children while armed. The investigation is ongoing as police continue to investigate the incident.
