New Delhi: A businessman was arrested Thursday after his pistol went off at a coffee shop in Connaught Place, creating panic, police said.

Anil Kumar, 61, had come to the Starbucks cafe for a meeting with his clients. When he stood up to leave the coffee shop, his pistol fell on the floor which accidentally triggered it, they said.
