The judge went on to say, “just because you have a licensed weapon does not mean that you will brandish it in public”. He also said that Radidya should be willing to face an inquiry.<br /><br />The MP, it may be recalled had refused to apologise for pulling a gun on the toll booth attendant who wanted to see his ID as MPs are exempted from paying toll, the attendant wanted to verify his documents before letting his car pass.

While Thakore's advocate made a U-turn in court and did not insist on pressing charges, the BJP government said it will pursue the case as Radadia's conduct was "unbecoming" of a public servant.</p>
