Bareilly Firing Incident: Two Shooters Apprehended in Attack on Disha Patani's Father's Residence

In a swift and decisive action, Bareilly police have successfully apprehended two individuals implicated in a concerning firing incident that occurred outside the official residence of Jagdish Patani, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and father of renowned actress Disha Patani. The alarming event, which took place in the cantonment area of Bareilly, sent ripples of concern, but the prompt investigation led to the identification and arrest of the alleged perpetrators.

The two arrested individuals have been identified as Prashant Singh, son of a retired police constable, and his friend Navratan Singh.

Their apprehension marks a significant breakthrough in the case, shedding light on what appears to be a calculated act of revenge rather than a random crime.

According to initial investigations and statements from senior police officials, the motive behind the firing was rooted in a desire for retribution against DSP Jagdish Patani.

It is alleged that the shooters were seeking revenge for an 'unjust' First Information Report (FIR) that had been registered against one of their relatives or friends, reportedly at the behest of Patani, during a previous posting.

The incident itself saw the accused fire shots into the air outside the DSP's residence, intending to intimidate or send a warning.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the family members present at the time were unharmed. The quick response of the Bareilly police, leveraging crucial CCTV footage from the vicinity, proved instrumental in tracking down the suspects.

DSP Rahul Bhati of Bareilly Police confirmed the arrests, stating, "We have arrested two persons, Prashant Singh and Navratan Singh, in connection with the firing incident outside DSP Jagdish Patani's house.

During interrogation, it has come to light that the motive behind the firing was revenge against DSP Patani over an old FIR." The official emphasized that the investigation is ongoing to fully corroborate the motive and ensure all aspects of the case are thoroughly examined.

This incident underscores the challenges faced by law enforcement officials and their families, even when off-duty.

However, the efficient handling of the case by the Bareilly police, leading to the rapid arrest of the alleged perpetrators, reaffirms their commitment to maintaining law and order and ensuring justice.
