A man from Punjab allegedly threatened a married woman at gunpoint in Himachal Pradesh’s Kasauli after pressuring her to return with him to Punjab. When she refused, he allegedly threatened to shoot her and kill himself. The accused was later arrested by police after following the woman to a police post, where she had gone to lodge a complaint.
According to police, the accused, identified as Narendra Kumar, a resident of Gurdaspur in Punjab, had been in contact with Anjali Devi, a resident of Bangoa village in Kasauli. The woman told police that she had voluntarily stayed at the accused’s house for some time but returned to her village in October 2026. Since then, Narendra had allegedly been pressuring her to return to Punjab.
On November 10, the accused arrived at her house on a motorcycle bearing registration number PB06AP-9363. He allegedly entered the room and pointed a pistol at Anjali Devi in front of her 21-year-old son, Ashish. When she refused to accompany him to Punjab, he threatened to shoot her and then end his own life. He also allegedly loaded bullets into the pistol in front of the family members before leaving.
The following evening, at around 5 pm, Narendra allegedly returned to the woman’s house. Troubled by his repeated threats, Anjali went to the Kuthar police post with her husband and son to file a complaint. However, the accused allegedly followed them on his motorcycle and again tried to intimidate her by displaying the pistol.
Police personnel caught him at the police post and seized the weapon. During the investigation, it was found that the accused did not possess a valid arms licence.
Police said both the woman and the accused are married and have one child each. A case has been registered on the woman's complaint. The accused was produced before a court on Wednesday, November 11, which granted three days of police remand for further investigation.
