Watch: UP Supercop tests Taser gun on him, surprises colleagues

Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) Javeed Ahmad on Sunday surprised his colleagues by having a Taser gun tested on him.

Taser gun is an electroshock weapon which fires dart-like electrodes at the target. Due to electric shock the target suffers neuromuscular incapacitation resulting in temporary immobility.

The video of DGP taking Taser shot went viral on social media in which Ahmad can be seen falling on the ground under the impact. His colleagues can be seen assisting him as he tried to get back on his feet.
