Gunshots Reportedly Fired Outside Actress Disha Patani’s Bareilly Home; Gang Allegedly Claims Responsibility

A tense atmosphere gripped Civil Lines in Bareilly on Friday after gunshots were reportedly fired outside the residence of Bollywood actor Disha Patani. The incident occurred near Villa No. 40, where Patani’s family resides, according to a media report.

While no injuries or casualties have been reported, the situation has sparked concern, especially after an alleged claim of responsibility was posted on social media. As per the report, gangster networks linked to Goldy Brar and Rohit Godara asserted that the attack was a reaction to what they described as an affront to Hindu religious leaders.

The Facebook post — attributed to individuals identified as Virendra Charan and Mahendra Saran — referenced comments allegedly made by Patani’s sister, Khushboo Patani, criticizing spiritual figures. The post specifically accused her of showing disrespect toward Premanand Ji Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Ji Maharaj, claiming the firing was a retaliatory act. The message further issued a warning to others in the film industry against what they termed “offensive acts” toward Sanatan Dharma and its spiritual leaders.

“This was a warning,” the statement read, “and we will not hesitate to go further if our beliefs and saints are disrespected again.”

Local law enforcement is currently investigating the incident. Police have yet to confirm the authenticity of the social media posts or whether there is any verified connection to organized criminal elements. Surveillance footage and eyewitness accounts are being reviewed as part of the ongoing inquiry.

As of now, neither Disha Patani nor her sister Khushboo has issued any official response regarding the incident.

Context Behind the Tensions

The situation appears to have stemmed from an earlier controversy involving Khushboo Patani, who had criticized statements reportedly made by spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya regarding women and live-in relationships. In a video circulating online, Khushboo called out the religious figure for making derogatory remarks, suggesting that women over the age of 25 who live independently or are unmarried lead immoral lifestyles.

While Khushboo later clarified that her comments were targeted specifically at Aniruddhacharya and not any other spiritual leader, sections of the post were allegedly misinterpreted or taken out of context online. This misrepresentation may have fueled outrage in certain circles, eventually leading to Friday’s incident.

Security Measures Tightened

Following the firing, police presence around the Patani residence has been strengthened. Investigative teams are working to trace the origin of the gunshots and identify those involved. Authorities are also monitoring online platforms to verify threats and track digital footprints related to the claims.

Officials have urged the public to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified information. Meanwhile, the local administration has assured that adequate security will be provided to the Patani family and that any threats to public safety will be dealt with firmly.
