Shots Fired Outside Disha Patani’s Bareilly Home, Goldy Brar Gang Claims Responsibility
Tension gripped Bareilly late Thursday night after shots were fired outside the residence of Bollywood actor Disha Patani in Civil Lines.
Panic struck Bareilly’s Civil Lines area in the early hours of Friday after unidentified assailants opened fire outside Bollywood star Disha Patani’s residence. Police confirmed that at least two rounds of aerial shots were fired around 4:30 am, though no injuries were reported.
Social Media Post Claims Responsibility
Soon after the incident, a social media post surfaced claiming responsibility for the firing. The message, written in Hindi, was signed off by Virendra Charan and Mahendra Saran. It alleged that the attack was carried out in retaliation for what they described as Disha Patani’s “insult” of revered Hindu saints Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj.
The post carried a direct threat to the film industry, stating: “This was just a trailer. Next time, if she or anyone else shows disrespect towards our religion, then no one in their house will be left alive.”
It further declared that the group was ready to go to any extent to “protect their religion,” ending with a stern warning to Bollywood artists.
