In a shocking turn of events, shots were fired outside Bollywood actress Disha Patani's house in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, late Thursday night. According to police reports, the incident occurred around 4:30 am, with unidentified assailants firing three to four rounds. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Authorities have launched a thorough investigation and have formed five separate teams to track down those responsible for the shooting. Security has been heightened at Disha Patani's residence following the incident.
The incident has sparked considerable concern, with various claims of responsibility surfacing on social media. A Facebook post, which has gone viral but remains unverified, has a gangster named Rohit Godara claiming responsibility for the attack. Some reports also mention Goldy Brar gang taking responsibility. The post alleges that the firing was a response to the actress's alleged disrespect towards Hindu saints Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj and Sanatan Dharma. The message issued a direct threat to the film industry, warning of further violence against anyone perceived to insult religious sentiments.
It's worth noting that Disha Patani's sister, Khushboo Patani, had previously criticized spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya's comments on women and live-in relationships. Some reports suggest that Khushboo's comments were aimed at Premanand Ji Maharaj as well, who had separately spoken about women, marriage and his views on live-in relationships among the youth. However, Khushboo clarified that her remarks were only against Aniruddhacharya Maharaj and not Premanand Ji Maharaj.
Disha Patani was born in Bareilly on June 13, 1992. Her father, Jagadish Singh Patani, is a police officer, and her mother is a health inspector. She also has an elder sister, Khushboo Patani, who served as a Major in the Indian Army and is a fitness coach and entrepreneur, and a younger brother, Suryansh Patani. While Disha Patani primarily resides in Mumbai for her Bollywood career, her family is based in Bareilly. It is unconfirmed whether any family members were present at the house during the firing incident.
The police are taking the threats seriously and are investigating all possible angles. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the full motive and scope of the attack. The incident has raised concerns about the safety and security of celebrities and the potential for religiously motivated violence. Further updates are awaited as the investigation progresses.
