In northern India’s Uttar Pradesh, a man named Munesh forcefully entered the home of a widow and fired a gun.
The incident took place in Gobila village of Jahangirpur town, Gautam Buddh Nagar district and the video went viral on July 18.

According to reports, the shocking incident, captured on video, highlights the harassment faced by the woman due to an outstanding debt.
