Overview
- Police identified the suspect as Sunit, also spelled Suneet, alias "Katua," a 27-year-old resident of Nagla Hardayal in Mathura's Mant area.
- Officers located him hours after a viral video in which he brandished a pistol, threatened to kill the chief minister by September 25, and spoke of taking his own life.
- A multi-hour standoff followed at his three-storey home as he climbed to the terrace, fired during the confrontation, and was overpowered by a team that used a ladder to apprehend him.
- A pistol and live cartridges were seized, and an FIR was registered under sections including criminal intimidation and illegal arms possession as the probe proceeds.
- Police are examining his claim of a land dispute with a relative, how he obtained a country-made pistol, and whether substance use or mental stress played a role; a local security cordon was reported after the arrest.
