A case has been registered against an office-bearer of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and his brother for brandishing a revolver while dancing at a pre-wedding ceremony in Maharashtra's Thane district, police said on Sunday.

The police registered a first information report (FIR) against Chintaman Lokhande, a businessman and vice-president of BJP's Other Backward Classes (OBC) cell in Kalyan city of Thane, and his brother after a video of the dance surfaced on social media, said senior inspector Dr Amarnath Waghmode of Khadakpada Police Station.


According to the police, Lokhande allegedly brandished a revolver while dancing during his sister's pre-wedding festivities at Umbarde village in Kalyan.


In the video, Lokhande can be seen dancing to a song and suddenly pulling out a revolver and waving it in the air to the shock of people present at the scene.

The official said a probe is underway in the case registered under the Arms Act.
