Actor Disha Patani’s father and retired Circle Officer, Jagdish Patani, on Thursday expressed his gratitude to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath after the two men accused of firing outside his residence in Bareilly were killed in a police encounter on Wednesday evening.

In a video message, Jagdish Patani praised the swift action taken by the state government and law enforcement. “I thank UP CM Yogi Adityanath on behalf of me and my family. As he had assured me, he found the criminals and took such strict action. I had a telephonic conversation with CM Yogi Adityanath today and thanked him as under his guidance, UP government and UP police are fully realising the vision of a fear-free society.”

The accused, Ravinder from Rohtak and Arun from Sonepat—both linked to the Rohit Godara and Goldy Brar gangs—were gunned down in Ghaziabad’s Tronica City during a joint operation by the Delhi Police Special Cell and the Special Task Forces of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

The suspects had opened fire outside Patani’s house in Bareilly in the early hours of September 12. Shortly after the incident, a social media account allegedly connected to associates of gangster Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for the attack.

Acting on intelligence and surveillance, a team led by ACP Dharmender Singh and SI Manjeet Singh tracked the duo to Ghaziabad. By evening, their exact location was confirmed. When police intercepted them near Tronica City at around 7.20 pm, the suspects opened fire, prompting a brief but intense exchange.

Both men were critically injured in the shootout—Ravinder sustained gunshots to the chest, and Arun was hit in the neck and chest. They later died during treatment. Four police personnel were also injured during the encounter.
