In a shocking incident that has sent waves of outrage across Uttar Pradesh, a woman was harassed and threatened with a gun by a school teacher in Agra, after she refused to respond to his advances. The harrowing episode, caught on camera and now widely shared online, shows the accused confronting the woman, attempting to force her into his car, and even brandishing a pistol when a crowd intervened.

According to Dainik Bhaskar, the man in the video has been identified as Shyamveer Singh, a school teacher from Baldev, Mathura. The report states that Singh initially approached the woman with an offer of Rs 5,000 to accompany him in his car. When she refused, things quickly escalated. The woman’s resistance and screams drew the attention of bystanders, causing the accused to momentarily back off only to retaliate by pulling out a firearm and making threats.

What Happened?

The woman, a 22-year-old resident of Jagdishpur, recounted the incident to Dainik Bhaskar. She was out with friends near Kargil Square on the evening of Saturday, September 20, when she stopped outside the Moon Light Hotel to drink water. That’s when a car with two men pulled up beside her.

Initially, the men offered her money to join them. She ignored them. But when they persisted, she confronted them. One of the men got out of the car and said, “Tumse hi keh raha hu (I’m talking to you only)." Trying to stay calm, she stepped forward and asked, “Ye kya badtameezi hai? (What is this misconduct?).”

Without warning, the situation turned violent. The accused tried to drag her into the car, grabbing her by the hands. She resisted fiercely kicking, screaming, and drawing the attention of people nearby. As a crowd began to form, Singh pulled out a licensed pistol and threatened both the woman and onlookers. According to witnesses, he even pointed the gun at a bystander who tried to intervene.

Two separate videos of the incident have surfaced online. In one, the woman is heard telling a bystander, “This man is torturing me and threatening me with his gun. He said, will you come with me for Rs 5,000.”

The second video captures the confrontation more directly. The accused is seen holding the woman’s hand as she resists and yells. A man in the crowd can be heard warning, “Hath mat laga, dur hat. Dur se baat kar (Don’t touch her, stay back. Speak from a distance).”

Following the incident, the woman filed a formal complaint at Sikandra Police Station. Within 24 hours, Agra Police arrested Shyamveer Singh. His licensed weapon and car were seized as part of the investigation.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) City, Sonam Kumar, told Dainik Bhaskar that the department is in the process of issuing a cancellation order for Singh’s gun license. Authorities are also working to identify and locate his accomplice, who fled the scene.
