On Thursday, Ashish Pandey who is the son of politician & former BSP lawmaker has surrendered at Patiala House Court as he was wanted for by the Police for brandishing a gun at a 5-star hotel in Delhi.

Ashish Pandey said,"I took the gun with me for safety. I didn't brandish it. It was hanging behind me all the time. I didn't even address that girl, she pushed me and made obscene hand gestures. I have faith in judiciary and so I decided to surrender. There is no history of Police Case against me."

Pandey claimed after surrendering,"I'm being projected like a wanted terrorist and police across the nation is looking for me. Look Out Circular has been issued against me. If you check CCTV footage, you'll find who went to the ladies toilet that night and who threatened whom."

Ashish Pandey has made a desperate appeal of "standing by him at this hour" & helping him "sort this mess" to his friends via Whats app before doing the surrender.

The message reads,"Dear friends, there is a viral video of me going around...it as a mistake...I made a mistake and apologize for it. At this time need you stand by me and help me stop this video going viral. I am really sorry, I disappointed you and myself. Help me sort this mess up please."

Ashish was missing since he was seen in a video clip captured on mobile phone, waving a gun, abusing & threatening a woman at Delhi's Hyatt Regency Hotel Sunday night.

On Wednesday, a Court had issued a non-bailable warrant against Ashish Pandey.

Police have recorded the statements of Ashish Pandey's friends & relatives from Delhi & Lucknow.

On Wednesday, Police filed a case charging Ashish Pandey under the Arms Act, after examining the mobile footage that was widely shared online.
