Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Nidar

Explanation:
India’s lightest gun Nidar was recently launched by a state run arms factory. It weighs 250 grams and costs USD 513. Nirbheek is India’s first gun for women and costs INR 122,360 rupees. Nidar is made out of aluminium alloy which ensures it is light yet has strength similar to steel. Both Nirbhaya and Nirbheek are synonyms of Nirbhaya, the India’s press’s name for 23 year old Jyoti Singh, the victim of the December 2012 gangrape.
