The firing at Disha Patani’s Bareilly residence took place on Friday evening when two bike-borne men allegedly fired seven rounds outside the Civil Lines residence of the actor’s family. Disha was not present at home, but her father, Jagdish Patani, and mother Padma, along with her siblings Khushboo and Suryansh, were inside.Following the firing incident, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath has assured strict action against the accused. Disha’s father, Jagdish Patani, a retired DSP of UP Police, said CM Yogi called him on Sunday evening and assured him that there would not be any lapses in his security.“We are with you in your difficult times, and strict action will be taken against the accused,” CM told Jagdish Patani over the phone.The firing is suspected to be linked to a July controversy involving Disha’s sister, Khushboo Patani, a retired Army major and wellness coach, who criticised ‘katha vachak’ Aniruddh Acharya for a “misogynist” remark. Her comments were later misinterpreted as being directed at Vrindavan-based seer Premanand Maharaj.
