What FACTLY found
The incident shared in the post took place at Armoli village in Surat, Gujarat. Surat Police arrested both the young men and filed a case against them. The pistol carried by one of them was found to be a lighter. Gujarat Minister Harsh Sanghavi too confirmed the arrest of these two young men through a tweet on 02 January 2022. This incident has nothing to do with the UP police
