Ashish Pandey, the BSP leader's son who waved a gun and threatened a woman at a five-star hotel in Delhi, was released on bail today. Pandey had gone missing for some days since he was seen in a mobile video waving the gun, abusing and threatening a woman at the Hyatt Regency on October 14. He was sent to two-week judicial custody after he surrendered at a Delhi court on October 18. He and his friends were seen driving away in a BMW, stopped neither by the hotel staff or security. The police acted when the video went viral online, provoking public outrage at the venal display of VIP arrogance.
