In the video, which went viral on the social media on Thursday, Furqan Ahmed is seen sitting on the bonnet of an official car, while his friend is enacting dialogue from a film threatening to slit throat of the Inspector General of Police (IGP). Furqan’s friend is heard ordering the IGP (not in the video) to show respect towards a bhai (Furqan) and then threatening to slit his throat, if he dared to cross his limits. The video was shot in front of the minister’s residence in the Osmanpura area and the vehicle on which they were sitting was part of the home minister’s convoy.
