According to that viral clip, the man introduces himself as Komal Singh. He says he is a tractor driver, moving sand and gravel around the Aheripur area.

While speaking with police officers, he also claims that he had been sent to Orai Jail three times earlier. Because he was already somewhat familiar with the place, he says he got interested in what a Central Jail looks like from the inside.

After that, it is alleged he pointed a pistol toward his wife’s chest so he could end up in legal trouble and, eventually, in jail.

In the viral video, he claims that he personally handed over the pistol and the ammunition to the police. And according to him his moves were powered by a desire to go to jail, rather than anything big, like a major disagreement with his wife or the rest of his family.

Adding to the whole surprise, the man seems pretty steady the entire time in the clip. You can see him smiling, even waving at the camera, a kind of behaviour that has kicked off all sorts of talk and reactions online on social media.
