Man Fires Shot at In-Laws' House in Gwalior

A dramatic incident unfolded in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, on Friday when a man allegedly fired a shot at his in-laws' house after his wife refused to return home. The man, identified as Jogendra Gurjar, had a dispute with his wife, which led her to leave for her parents' home.

Upset over this, Jogendra reached his in-laws' house and started arguing with his brother-in-law. During the argument, he allegedly fired one round from a country-made pistol, creating panic in the village. No one was injured in the incident.

After receiving information, police rushed to the spot. On seeing the police, Jogendra climbed onto the roof with the weapon and refused to come down. A video of the incident has surfaced on social media, showing Jogendra standing on the roof with the weapon while police and villagers gathered below.

During the standoff, Jogendra allegedly told police that his in-laws were interfering in his married life and often took his wife back to her parents' home after minor arguments between the couple. Police continued talking to him and assured him that both families would be called for discussions to resolve the dispute.

After nearly two hours, Jogendra agreed to come down. The police then seized the country-made pistol and took him into custody.
