Disha Patani’s father Jagdish Patani gets weapons licence following attack on Bareilly home

Jagdish Patani, father of actress Disha Patani, received a firearm license after gunmen fired at their Bareilly home. Following the attack, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath assured security. Police killed the suspects in a Ghaziabad encounter. Meanwhile, Disha is busy with upcoming films like Welcome to the Jungle and Holiguards.

Jagdish Patani, the father of actress Disha Patani, has been granted a firearm license by the Bareilly district authorities, according to a senior official on Sunday. The retired DSP made a request to the Bareilly District Magistrate after gunmen targeted Disha’s ancestral home. In response to the attack, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath assured him of protection and security.

Official confirmation of licence issuance

According to the Free Press Journal, Bareilly District Magistrate Avnish Singh stated that Patani applied for a weapons license after the attack on his home. After completing all the necessary procedures, Patani was issued a licence for a revolver/pistol.

Attack and police action

On September 12, 2025, two men riding a motorcycle opened fire with around 10 bullets near Patani’s house, according to authorities. The Kotwali police registered a case, and just five days later, on September 17, a combined force from Uttar Pradesh’s Special Task Force (STF), Haryana STF, and Delhi police encountered and killed the suspects, Ravindra and Arun, in Ghaziabad. Anurag Arya, Senior Superintendent of Police in Bareilly, confirmed that security arrangements at Jagdish Patani’s residence will remain in place.

Disha Patani’s busy acting career

Meanwhile, Disha Patani continues to stay occupied with her career. After starring in high-octane films such as ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ and ‘Kanguva’, she made a notable impact in ‘Yodha’ (2024), winning over audiences and critics with her commanding performance. Her next release is ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, a comedy-adventure featuring Akshay Kumar, which is currently undergoing post-production. Additionally, she is involved in an international project named ‘Holiguards’, directed by Kevin Spacey, and is attached to another yet-to-be-titled Bollywood drama set for release in 2025.
