Gunshots were reported outside Bollywood actress Disha Patani’s residence in Civil Lines, Bareilly, late Thursday night, leaving the area shaken. As per police accounts, several rounds were fired around 4:30 a.m., including two aerial shots, though thankfully no injuries were reported.
Soon after the attack, a social media post emerged in which Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar’s gang claimed responsibility, placing the actress at the centre of a deeply unsettling incident.
Goldy Brar Gang Claims Responsibility for Firing Outside Disha Patani’s Home
The Hindi message, shared across social media, identified two men — Virendra Charan and Mahendra Saran — as those responsible for the attack. According to the note, the firing was described as a form of “punishment” directed at Disha Patani and her sister, Khushboo Patani, over alleged derogatory remarks against spiritual leaders Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Maharaj. The statement also issued a broader warning to the film industry, cautioning that anyone who disrespects their religion or saints would face the same consequences. 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.”
Police Action After Firing at Disha Patani’s Residence
Authorities confirmed that several shots were fired outside the actor’s home and stated that they are examining the authenticity of the social media post. Bareilly police officials added that they are tracking down the individuals mentioned in the message to determine whether the claim is directly connected to the incident. While Disha Patani has yet to release an official statement, her younger sister Khushboo Patani responded earlier, acknowledging the firing and describing it as “deeply disturbing.”
Unraveling the Dispute Behind the Firing at Disha Patani’s Residence
The incident is said to have stemmed from remarks made by Khushboo Patani. She had openly criticized spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya for his comments about women and live-in relationships. In his statement, Aniruddhacharya allegedly suggested that women who remain unmarried after 25 or choose live-in relationships are often of questionable character. Khushboo condemned these remarks, labeling them as misogynistic and damaging. She stated:
“He says girls who are above the age of 25 and stay in live-in relationships, woh 4 jagah mooh maar ke aati hai (they go from one person to another). If only he was around me, I would have made him understand the meaning of the words he has used against women. They are anti-national. You should never support b***** of the highest orders.”
Khusboo’s remarks were later twisted and spread online, with misleading claims alleging that they were directed at Premanand Maharaj. This false narrative seems to have sparked outrage among certain groups and is believed to have triggered the firing incident outside Disha’s residence. At present, police are investigating the origin of the social media post and working to track down those involved. Officials have also confirmed that security around Disha Patani’s home has been reinforced, assuring that the safety of her family remains a top priority.
