Overview
- A Gwalior resident, Shishupal Singh Kanshana, filed a complaint with ASP Anu Beniwal after a video allegedly showing Bigg Boss 19 contestant Tanya Mittal using a potash gun went viral.
- ASP Anu Beniwal said the police cyber team has been tasked to examine the video and report findings, with further action dependent on the probe.
- Officials recently prohibited the manufacture, sale, and use of potash or carbide guns in Gwalior under orders from Collector Ruchika Chauhan following directives from MP Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
- Local reports attribute hundreds of severe post-Diwali eye injuries to such devices, which prompted the swift enforcement measures.
- Multiple outlets report the clip is likely about two years old, and with Mittal inside the Bigg Boss house her team has not issued a public statement while police assess whether an FIR is warranted.
