Kalaburagi (Karnataka) (PTI): A Congress leader has courted trouble by making a reel replicating the popular song "Fa9la" from the blockbuster movie 'Dhurandhar'.

Matin Patel, who is a close aide of a Congress MLA in Kalaburagi, is shown flaunting a pistol and a gun in the video.

Police have begun an investigation into the matter.

"A video has gone viral on social media showing a man flaunting arms. We know the person in the video. I have told officers to find out where the video was made and under which police station it falls," Kalaburagi Police Commissioner Sharanappa S D told reporters on Tuesday.

He said he has directed police to find out which weapon was used and whether it is real or not.

"If it is real, then we will see whether it was a licenced one or not. If it was licenced, then we will check whether the conditions were violated," the police officer said.

If it was found illegal, then action will be taken under the Arms Act, Sharanappa said.

In the video, Matin makes an entry in his black SUV and then dances with his friends just like Rehman Dakait (Akshaye Khanna), who in the film enters an arms dealer’s camp in Balochistan and is given a rousing welcome.

“We received information that several children fell ill after consuming the mid-day meal in Baluaha. The children were initially treated at the primary health centre, but later, many were referred to the Sadar Hospital,” Saharsa District Magistrate Deepesh Kumar told reporters.

“According to doctors, the health condition of the children has improved, but they will be kept under observation for some time. There is no need to panic. Some kids are having mild fever. They are being treated accordingly,” Kumar said.

Meanwhile, family members of some children claimed that a snake was found in the container in which cooked pulses was stored at the school.

Of the 545 students present in the school, 200 had already eaten their meals by the time the snake was spotted, and later complained of stomach ache and vomiting, they said.
