Shots were fired outside Disha Patani’s house early Friday morning, reportedly in response to the comments she allegedly made against Hindu spiritual leaders Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj. Goldy Brar’s group has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack. It happened in Civil Lines, Bareilly.
Shortly after the attack, a social media post in Hindi surfaced, claiming responsibility and directly naming two individuals, Virendra Charan (of Rohit Godara Group) and Mahendra Saran.
The message, translated in English, reads, “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 authenticity of the post is yet to be verified. For the unaware, Disha Patani and her sister Khushboo Patani criticised spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya for his remarks on women and live-in relationships. The police are currently investigating.
