In a purported video that has surfaced on social media, the Dera chief can be heard saying, “After five years, I have got a chance to celebrate like this, so I should cut at least five cakes. This is the first cake.”

Public display of weapons (cutting a cake with a sword) is prohibited under the Arms Act.
