Viral video: Congress MLA fired gun in the air while dancing at New Year's Eve party, say police

Congress leader and Madhya Pradesh MLA Sunil Saraf was booked by police on 2 January 2023 for allegedly firing a gun in the air while dancing at a New Year's Eve function.

The alleged incident took place on the night of 31 December 2022 at Kotma town in Anuppur district, located around 570 km from state capital Bhopal.

In the viral video, Saraf is purportedly seen dancing on the tune of famous Bollywood song “Main Hoon Don” on the dais and allegedly firing a round from a handgun in the air during a New Year's eve party.

The Congress MLA reportedly has a licensed gun and police is investigating whether the shot was fired from the same weapon. Meanwhile, Saraf has denied shooting with a real gun and said that it was dummy Diwali gun.

In October last year, the MLA was booked for allegedly molesting a 32-year-old woman passenger onboard a train in Madhya Pradesh.
