New Delhi: On Friday morning, around 4 am, gunshots were fired outside actress Disha Patani’s house in Civil Lines, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The responsibility of the attack was taken by the Goldy Brar gang for “insulting Premanand Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Mahara”.
In a social media post, the gangster named two men, Virendra Charan and Mahendra Saran and called the attack a “trailer”. The post read, “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 post further read.
Police confirmed that they are investigating the incident and searching for the people involved in the firing. Authorities also added that the social media post is being verified.
Reason for the attack
Recently, Disha Patani’s sister Khushboo Patani, spoke against the spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya for his comments against women and live-in relationships. She had criticised the spiritual leader and said, “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.”
She further added, “You should never support b****** of the highest orders.” Later, she clarified that her comments were directed towards Premanand Ji Maharaj and were taken out of context.
