Tension still lingers in Bareilly after the shocking attack near actress Disha Patani’s family home, but her father Jagdish Patani has now been granted a weapons license for personal safety. The retired DSP applied for the license right after the firing incident, and officials have confirmed that the approval has been completed.
A senior district official shared on Sunday that the decision was taken soon after the attack raised concerns about the family’s security. According to Free Press Journal, District Magistrate Avnish Singh stated that once the process was finished, Jagdish Patani received permission to carry a revolver.
What Happened During the Attack?
The incident took place on September 12, when two men on a motorcycle opened fire near the Patani residence. Nearly 10 rounds were reportedly fired before the attackers fled the scene. A case was registered immediately, and within just five days, a joint operation by the Uttar Pradesh STF, Haryana STF, and Delhi Police tracked down and killed the suspects in Ghaziabad.
UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath earlier assured that strict action would be taken against those involved. Following the encounter, Bareilly SSP Anurag Arya confirmed that security around the Patani home had been increased and will remain strengthened for now.
Despite the unsettling events back home, Disha Patani has continued working on her upcoming film projects.
