In a shocking incident late last night, gunshots were reportedly fired outside Bollywood actor Disha Patani’s residence in Civil Lines, Bareilly. News reports state that authorities have linked the attack to alleged comments made by the actress's sister that were perceived as disrespectful toward Hindu saints Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj.
Details of the Incident
According to an India Today report, cited by the Times of India, multiple rounds were fired outside the villa, including two aerial shots at around 4:30 am. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The firing reportedly involved two motorbike-borne assailants who targeted the actor’s home. An FIR has been registered, and five investigative teams have been constituted to probe the incident. Armed police personnel have been deployed to secure the premises, and authorities are actively searching for the perpetrators.
SSP Bareilly Anurag Arya informed in a tweet shared by ANI that the firing occurred at the residence of Disha Patani’s father, retired CO Jagdish Patani. He assured the family of their safety and emphasized that strict action would be taken against those responsible.
Social Media Post Claims Responsibility
As per India Today, a social media post written in Hindi surfaced on Facebook soon after the incident, taking responsibility for the attack. The post named two individuals, Virendra Charan and Mahendra Saran (Delana), and issued a stern warning to the film industry.
It stated that the firing was a response to perceived insults toward the revered saints and Sanatan Dharma, adding that this was only a "trailer" and that future disrespect would not be tolerated. The post also emphasized that the warning extended beyond Disha Patani/Khushboo Patani to other artists and industry members.
Authorities are currently verifying the authenticity of the post and continuing their investigation into the case.
Background and Context
The controversy stems from remarks made by Disha Patani’s younger sister, Khushboo Patani, regarding statements by spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya Maharaj on women and live-in relationships.
Khushboo had criticized the leader for making derogatory comments about unmarried women above 25 and clarified that her statements were misrepresented online. This incident appears to have escalated tensions, culminating in the violent attack outside Disha Patani’s residence.
