The Story in Brief
Bengaluru police have registered a case against Harish Gowda, 33, operator of Harish Trading Academy in Nagarabhavi, after a video on the academy's Instagram page showed him pulling out a pistol during a conversation. Police constable Chandrakanta of Annapoorneshwarinagar police station spotted the clip during social media monitoring.
The video shows a man asking if he can turn Rs 1,000 in a demat account into Rs 1 lakh overnight. Gowda questions the request, the man insists, and Gowda allegedly places a pistol on the table, threatening him and ordering him to leave. A case has been filed under the Arms Act and BNS Section 351. Investigation is on.
The Indian Opinion
The police deserve credit for spotting this video, but the real issue is how trading academies sell get-rich-quick dreams that lead young investors to make absurd demands. The threat in the clip may be staged, yet it reflects a culture where risk is brushed aside. Watch for whether the pistol turns out to be licensed, and whether the academy faces any scrutiny for its investment claims. A simple check of his credentials would answer more than the drama on screen.
