A video of a burqa-wearing woman armed with a gun shouting abuses and firing bullets at a locality in India's national capital has gone viral on social media.
According to the police, the incident took place last week, but the video of the incident started making the rounds on Monday night.
In the footage, the woman, identified by police only by her first name, Nusrat, can be seen hurling abuses and relentlessly firing bullets outside a shop as locals and children on the street watch in horror.
