A Congress leader has been arrested for barging into the office of a construction company near Kanpur and brandishing a revolver to threaten its employees. The act has been caught on a CCTV camera.

He is seen holding a revolver to his side and then pointing it at the employees while wagging his hand in a threatening gesture.
