According to police sources, the attack was later claimed by the Goldy Brar–Rohit Godara gang. The gang alleged that the firing was a retaliation for controversial remarks made by Disha’s sister, Khushboo Patani, about spiritual leader Aniruddhacharya. Her comments, which reportedly criticised Aniruddhacharya’s stance on live-in relationships, became the focal point of the gang’s anger.

Following the incident, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) launched a massive manhunt for the suspects. On Wednesday, they tracked down the two accused, identified as Ravindra alias Kallu and Arun, in Ghaziabad’s Tronica City. Both men, said to be active members of the Brar-Godara gang, attempted to escape when cornered.

An encounter ensued after the suspects opened fire on STF personnel. Both Ravindra and Arun were injured in the exchange of bullets and later succumbed to their injuries at a nearby hospital. STF officials recovered a Glock pistol, a Zigana pistol, and multiple live cartridges from the scene, strengthening the link between the shooters and the notorious gang.

Police investigations have further revealed that the gang specifically targeted the Patani family because Disha’s father, Jagdish Patani, is a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police. The shooters were reportedly instructed to intimidate the family as part of a larger criminal network’s attempt to establish dominance.

The incident has raised serious questions about security and gang activity in Uttar Pradesh. Authorities are now probing whether other associates of the gang are planning similar attacks in the state. Meanwhile, the Patani family has been assured of enhanced security.

While Disha Patani herself has not issued a public statement yet, the shocking incident has drawn strong reactions from fans and the film industry, many of whom have expressed concern for the actress and her family’s safety.
