Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday (September 20) sought to equate a shooter arrested in connection with a firing incident at actor Disha Patani's house in Bareilly to "Maareech", a demon expert in disguising himself.
Speaking at a function held at the Lok Bhawan in Lucknow, CM Adityanath said, "A criminal involved in women-related crime came from outside (the State). He possibly entered like Maareech, but when the Uttar Pradesh Police's bullet hit him, he said he wrongly entered the State and will never show this audacity (again)." The Chief Minister said this has to be done with every criminal who disturbs women safety.
One of the five shooters involved in the firing incident at Ms. Patani's ancestral house in Bareilly was arrested, along with an associate, after a police encounter on Friday (September 19).
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Anurag Arya said the encounter took place in Bareilly and the accused, Ramanivas, sustained a bullet injury in his leg. His associate, Anil, was also arrested.
