Firing at Disha Patani’s House in UP
The firing took place in the early hours of September 12 at around 3:30 am when two unidentified men on a motorcycle opened fire outside the Patani residence. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Soon after, a social media account named ‘Rohan Godara Goldy Brar’ claimed responsibility for the incident. The post alleged that the attack was carried out in response to the supposed insult of Hindu saints Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj allegedly by Disha’s sister Khushboo Patani.
Investigation underway
The local police have stepped up security around the Patani residence and launched a probe into the attack. Authorities are currently investigating the authenticity of the social media claim while attempting to trace the two unidentified assailants.
