New Delhi: The son of a BSP leader was booked for allegedly brandishing a weapon in the foyer of a five-star hotel here, a video of which went viral on social media, police said Tuesday.

A complaint about the incident was received by the police Monday from the assistant security manager of Hyatt Regency Hotel in RK Puram, they said.

The incident occurred on the intervening night of October 13 and 14, they added.

In the video, Ashish Pandey, who is the son of BSP leader Rakesh Pandey, can purportedly be seen brandishing a gun in the foyer of the hotel, a senior police officer said.

A case was registered against Pandey under the Arms Act, the police said, adding that further investigation was underway.

Vadra expresses concern

Congress leader Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra Tuesday expressed serious concern over the law and order situation in the city over the incident.

"I really fear for the safety of our children and the people of our city, the capital of our country," he said in a Facebook post.

"What is the Law and Order prevailing and who is accountable? Has the Chief Minister seen what is existing and will they make an example of this insane behaviour with guns and profanity?" he said.

Vadra also posted a few pictures of the incident. "There were a bunch of children having dinner at the hotel and other friends, earlier... God help us," he said in the post.

The video has provoked outrage and disgust on social media. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has also tweeted about it. "Delhi Police has initiated action on this incident which is also being shown in the media. FIR has been registered under Arms Act and IPC. Strong and appropriate action will be taken. Also verifying the identity of others," Mr Rijiju tweeted.
