Video footage from Pakistan’s city of Karachi in Sindh province shows an elderly man pointing a gun at a biker and suggesting that he immediately run away. Though the reason for the man’s behaviour remains unknown, he can be seen lashing out at the biker as the latter tries to rush off.

A Twitter user claims to have traced the man through his car’s registration number and identified him as Rehan Riaz Merchant.
He also alleged that the man is named in the list of possible money launderers by the Directorate of Intelligence & Investigation in 2015. The report released the names of the people who were interested in investing in projects in Dubai and were possible money launderers.
