Overview

• Two bike-borne men opened fire outside the Patani family’s Civil Lines residence around 3 a.m. Friday, with no injuries reported.
• An FIR was registered and security was increased as the Crime Branch and SOG joined the probe, with six teams reviewing CCTV and recovered cartridge cases.
• Police said the shooters used 9mm pistols and that Section 109 (attempt to murder) has been invoked, with initial forensics indicating six shots were fired.
• A post attributed to operatives linked to Goldy Brar and Rohit Godara claimed responsibility and issued threats to film industry figures, which authorities are verifying.
• Retired DSP Jagdish Patani said he narrowly avoided being hit and described the weapon as likely “foreign-made,” while noting the family had received no prior direct threats.
