Gangsters Goldy Brar and Rohit Godara claim the responsibility
Hours after the firing, the gang of gangsters Goldy Brar and Rohit Godara claimed responsibility for the firing. In the post, they stated the reason behind the firing was the insult of Hindu saints by Disha's sister, Khushboo Patni. However, the police are still investigating the authenticity of the social media post.
Claiming responsibility for the firing, the gang wrote in a Facebook post, “I, Virendra Charan, Mahendra Saran (Delana). Brothers, today the firing that took place at Khushboo Patna / Disha Patna (Bollywood actress)’s house (villa number 40, Civil Lines Bareilly, U.P.) we had this carried out. She had insulted our revered saints (Premanand Ji Maharaj and Aniruddhacharya Ji Maharaj). She tried to demean our Sanatan Dharma.”
“The insult of our worshipped deities will not be tolerated. This was just a trailer. If next time again she or someone else shows any obscenity toward our religion, we will not leave anyone alive from their house. This message is not only for her but for all the artists of the film world and the people associated with them. Whoever in the future commits any such insulting act regarding our religion and saints, be prepared to face its consequences. If we have to go to any extent to protect our religion, we are ready for that. We will never back down. For us, religion and the whole society are always one; protecting them is our foremost duty,” they wrote.
No official statement has been released by the Patani sisters yet.

Khushboo, a retired official in the Indian Army and a social media influencer, found herself at the centre of a controversy after she made remarks about spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya. However, misinformation circulated, claiming that she had made comments against another spiritual leader, Premandandji Maharaj. Khushboo quickly clarified her statements, stating that she has never made any remarks against Premandandji.
