Congress MLA Lalit Vasoya’s ‘firing’ video creates ripples

RAJKOT: Hardly had the flutter on social media around Abdasa Congress MLA Pradyumansinh Jadeja’s son Jaideepsinh’s video on Instagram showing him firing in the air died down, that another politician added fuel to the fire with another fresh upload of a similar video on Facebook.
The new video shows Dhoraji Upleta Congress MLA Lalit Vasoya learning how to fire, was uploaded by his supporter Dinesh Patel.However, Vasoya may escape action as the video was taken at the time of his training to ‘fire a pistol’.
“I have applied for gun licence for my personal security. As it is mandatory for any licence applicant to acquire the certificate from the weapon training centre in Gondal, I had gone there. It was while I was practising with a pistol that my video had been shot,” Vasoya told reporters.
Later, Vasoya also asked Patel to remove the video from his account. Jaideepsinh uploaded three videos on Instagram showing him firing in the air from his pistol and 12 bore gun, leading to his arrest on Wednesday night.
