As per the reports, the Goldy Brar group has claimed responsibility for the attack. A gang member, Veerendra Charan, wrote on Facebook, “I am Veerendra Charan, Mahendra Saran (Delana). Brothers, today, the firing that took place at the house of Disha Patani (Bollywood actress) has been done by us. She had insulted our revered saints (Premanand Ji Maharaj and Aniruddh Acharya Ji Maharaj) and tried to belittle our Sanatan Dharma.”He added, “The insult to our deities will not be tolerated. This was just a trailer. If she or anyone else shows disrespect towards our religion again, not a single person in their house will be left alive. This message is not just for her, but for all the film industry artists and those associated with them.”
