Thane: Police in Maharashtra have launched a probe after a video showing a man teaching his three-year-old son how to load a pistol went viral on social media.
In the video, the man, a resident of Titwala in the district, is seen teaching his son how to hold the pistol and load bullets into it.
An official from the Kalyan taluka police station said that the man in the video runs a school at Titwala. However, the official did not disclose his name.
As per the initial probe, he had shot the video at his home using the licensed revolver of a relative.

The man, who has reportedly gone to Delhi for some work, has been asked to visit the police station upon return for inquiry.
