A young man in India was arrested on a holiday for allegedly planning to scare his brother-in-law with a gun.
He was upset because his sister married someone from a different community without the family's approval.
Police found a gun and bullets in his car after getting a tip.
The man said he only wanted to frighten his brother-in-law, but the police are still investigating to see if he had a more serious plan.
The man got the gun from a friend.
A 23-year-old man was arrested in Ahmedabad for allegedly planning to threaten his brother-in-law with a gun.
The arrest occurred on Rakshabandhan in Odhav village, after the man's sister married outside their community without family consent.
