Disha Patani was last seen in the film Kanguva.

Shots were fired at Bollywood actor Disha Patani’s residence in Bareilly in the early hours of Friday morning.

Shots were fired outside Bollywood actress Disha Patani’s ancestral home in Bareilly on Friday, reportedly in response to alleged comments made by Disha’s sister Khushboo Patani against Hindu spiritual leaders Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj. Gangster Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for the incident on social media, police said.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Anurag Arya stated that police and forensic teams arrived at the scene shortly after the information was received and recovered multiple empty cartridges from outside the house. “We have transferred the case to the crime branch. CCTV footage is being reviewed, and an alert has been issued regarding Goldy Brar’s network,” he told reporters.

The SSP noted that five teams have been formed to investigate the incident. He added that the initial report was made to the police late on Thursday. Officers promptly visited the Patani family to assure them of protection and deployed police at the residence. “The SP City, SP Crime, and SP Traffic have been placed on alert and are maintaining close surveillance,” he said.

The firing occurred outside the Patani family’s residence at Villa No. 40 in Civil Lines. Present at the time were Disha Patani’s father, retired DSP Jagdish Singh Patani, her mother, and her elder sister, Khushbu Patani. Following the incident, the family remained inside the house under police protection, officials confirmed.

In a social media post written in Hindi, Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for the shooting and directly named two individuals: Virendra Charan and Mahendra Saran.

The post stated: “Jai Shri Ram Ram Ram to all brothers. I, Virendra Charan, Mahendra Saran (Delana). Brothers, today the firing that happened at Khushboo Patani/Disha Patani’s (Bollywood actress) house (Villa No. 40, Civil Lines, Bareilly, UP), we got it done. She insulted our revered saints (Premanand Ji Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Ji Maharaj). She tried to demean our Sanatan Dharma. The insult of our deities will not be tolerated. 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. This message is not just for her, but also for all the artists of the film industry and those associated with them. Whoever in the future commits such an insulting act against our religion and saints should be ready to face the consequences. To protect our religion, we are ready to go to any extent. We will never back down. For us, our religion and society are one, and protecting them is our first duty.”

The post is currently under review by law enforcement, and its authenticity has yet to be confirmed.

Disha Patani’s younger sister, Khushboo Patani, had earlier expressed criticism of spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya remarks regarding women and live-in relationships, which may have triggered the backlash.
