Firing at Disha Patani’s Bareilly home; Goldy Brar-Rohit Godara gang claims responsibility over ‘religious disrespect’

PTC Web Desk: Bollywood actor Disha Patani’s residence in Bareilly’s Civil Lines came under attack early Friday morning when two unidentified men on a motorcycle opened fire outside the house. According to the police, the assailants fired two rounds before fleeing the scene.

At the time of the incident, Disha’s family members were inside the residence, including her father Jagdish Patani, a retired DSP, her mother Padma Patani, and her sister Khushboo Patani, a former Army officer. Fortunately, no one was injured. Disha herself was in Mumbai during the attack.

The police recovered two empty cartridges from the spot after Jagdish Patani alerted the authorities. Security has been strengthened around the property, and the crime branch has taken over the case.

Bareilly Senior Superintendent of Police Anurag Arya confirmed the attack occurred around 4.30 am. He said, “CCTV footage is being examined, and alerts have been issued regarding gangster Goldy Brar and his aides. Five dedicated teams are working to trace the attackers.” He further added that the family has been provided full security cover.

The Rohit Godara-Goldy Brar gang later claimed responsibility for the shooting in a Facebook post, alleging that the firing was retaliation for comments made by Disha Patani and her sister against spiritual leaders Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj.

The gang’s post warned, “This is only a trailer. Next time, if anyone disrespects our religion, no one will be spared.” The statement added that the warning extended beyond the Patani family to the entire film industry.

The post also tagged several known criminal groups and individuals, including Monu Group, AP Group, Kala Rana, Naresh Sethi, Tinu Haryana, and Amarjeet Bishnoi, reinforcing their threat that insults to religious sentiments would not be tolerated
