The BJP’s controversial Uttarakhand legislator Pranav Singh Champion, who was suspended from the party on the grounds of indiscipline and misbehaviour, is in the news again.

This time, Pranav Singh Champion is seen in a now-viral video brandishing several at least four revolvers and a rifle as he dances to a Bollywood item number and uses obscene language. Wearing a black vest and white trousers, Pranav Singh Champion is also taking a sip of a drink in the video.

Several other people are also seen dancing in the 1 minute 45 second-video tweeted by news agency Asian News International (ANI).

“We will look into the matter and also verify if the weapons are licensed or not,” a police officer was quoted as saying by ANI.

The Bharatiya Janata Party said it will take “strict action” against the legislator.

“I have seen that video. I condemn it. These kinds of complaints came against Pranav Singh Champion earlier as well, that’s why he was suspended for three months. We’ll talk to Uttarakhand unit about it. Strict action will be taken,” BJP national media in-charge Anil Baluni said, according to ANI.

The legislator was suspended by the BJP last month for threatening journalists.
