Punjab has banned public display of firearms and songs promoting gun culture
Amritsar Rural Police booked four people, including a 10-year-old boy and his father, for "glorifying" gun culture but later cancelled the FIR after it was pointed out that the firearm in question was a "toy gun." The case was registered at the Kathunangal Police Station on Wednesday.
The boy's father had posted a photo of his son on the latter's Facebook page in which the child was seen standing with a gun with a bandolier on his shoulder.
The case was registered under Section 188 of the IPC, which pertains to disobedience to order duly promulgated by a public servant.
The state government has banned public display of firearms and songs promoting gun culture, including on social media.
