Bollywood in target of gangster
Munawar Faruqui has recently become a target for gangsters, joining a trend where Bollywood celebrities are increasingly at risk. Last month, gunshots were fired outside Disha Patani's Bareilly home by two men associated with the Goldy Brar-Rohit Godara gang, both of whom have since been arrested. Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has also been a long-standing target of this gang.
