Shots were fired outside Bollywood actor Disha Patani’s house in Civil Lines, Bareilly, late last night, police said on Friday. Authorities said several rounds were fired; two rounds of aerial firing were reported at about 4:30 am. No one was injured in the incident.

A social media post has claimed responsibility for the incident, and police are currently investigating the matter. The post, written in Hindi, directly named two men and issued a warning to the film industry. The message said:

“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.”

Police confirmed that they are searching for those involved in the firing. Disha Patani’s younger sister, Khushboo Patani, had also commented on the matter.

Authorities said the investigation is underway, and the authenticity of the social media post is being verified.

– Ends
