A revolver was recovered from the possession of the accused, identified as Gagandeep Singh, a resident of Nayagaon. He was arrested on Wednesday night after Ajit Inder Singh, a resident of Sector 38 West, alleged that Gagandeep threatened him and pointed his revolver at him at the Sector-36 market.
