‘Will never come to UP’: Shooter held in Disha Patani house firing case tells cops after encounter
Disha Patani's father said in a video that the UP government and police are working to create a fear-free society under CM Yogi Adityanath’s guidance.
A shooter involved in the attack on actor Disha Patani's ancestral home in Bareilly told police he “will never come to UP again” after being arrested on Friday along with an associate.
A video of the incident showed Ramanivas lying on the ground with folded hands after the encounter. He was seen limping with a leg injury as police assisted him, telling them, “Dubara UP mein kabhi nahi aayenge sir. Kabhi nahi aayenge baba ji police ke aage” (“I will never come to UP again, sir. I will never come in front of Baba ji’s police”).
He reportedly referred to chief minister Yogi Adityanath as ‘Baba.’
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Anurag Arya said Ramanivas sustained a bullet injury in his leg during the encounter, while his associate, Anil, was also taken into custody.
Police recovered a .32 bore pistol, four live cartridges, and four spent shells from the accused. During questioning, Ramanivas admitted his involvement in the attack and said he had been on the run since the incident.
