Delhi’s law enforcers struck a decisive blow against organized crime networks by arresting Rohit Solanki, the chief orchestrator behind the gunfire ambush on Lawrence Bishnoi’s legal representatives. This violent episode transpired on a tense Tuesday evening close to Marghat Baba Temple in Kashmiri Gate, injuring one and intensifying debates on safeguarding attorneys entangled in gangster litigations.

Details emerged that on the night of February 24, advocate Deepak Khatri and four colleagues were en route home when gunmen affiliated with fugitive gangster Rohit Godara struck. Security camera recordings captured three motorbike assailants discharging six bullets at the moving car. Sandeep, a team member, took two hits and remains under care at Ganga Ram Hospital, while Khatri dodged the bullets by a hair’s breadth.

The attackers sped away post-assault, but not before igniting a trail of intimidation. Godara, believed to be overseas, has reportedly menaced Khatri’s kin over phone lines, fueling calls for prompt security upgrades—yet authorities have held off.

DCP North Delhi, Raja Banthia, highlighted reliance on video surveillance and clandestine sources in the probe. A chilling social media declaration from Godara’s syndicate—naming Naveen Buxar, Rahul Fatehpur, and Sunny Yama—on February 25 avowed the attack as vengeance for alleged police tip-offs by Khatri.

This capture of Solanki propels the case forward, with investigators scrutinizing inter-state gang alliances. The legal fraternity voices deep apprehensions about mounting perils to counsel in mob trials, pressing for robust safety enhancements.

Meanwhile, South East Delhi’s Operation Aaghat yielded 200 arrests, 10 firearms recovered, and more than 10,000 booze bottles confiscated, signaling intensified anti-crime sweeps.

The family of Bollywood actress Disha Patani is shaken after an incident where shots were fired at their home in Bareilly. Two individuals on a motorcycle carried out the act on Friday morning. Thankfully, no one was injured in the shooting. Reports indicate that Disha’s sister, Khushboo Patani, a former Army officer, was accused of disrespecting Saint Premanand Ji Maharaj and storyteller Aniruddhacharya Maharaj. A gangster, Rohit Godara, has claimed responsibility for the incident on social media.

Disha and Khushboo’s father, Jagdish Patani, refuted the allegations against his daughter and shared his account of the firing. Speaking with TV9, Jagdish revealed that his life was in danger during the event, with the attackers pointing a pistol at him. He managed to escape the situation.

Jagdish described that he was present at home when the firing occurred. He explained that the family dogs alerted him to the presence of someone. When he opened the door, he saw two individuals. Upon asking who they were, they aimed a gun at him. He quickly took cover behind a wall. He believes they used a foreign pistol, firing around 10 to 12 rounds. The attackers then fled on their vehicle, and he subsequently informed the police.

Regarding the gangster’s claim of responsibility, Jagdish stated that he couldn’t comment on the gang’s involvement and that anyone could make such claims in the media. He added that he would wait for the police to conclude their investigation.

When questioned about Khushboo’s alleged disrespect towards the saints, Jagdish clarified that his daughter had responded to Aniruddhacharya Ji’s comments about women, expressing her disagreement. This, he said, was being used to defame them.

Jagdish added that the police have been very cooperative. He acknowledged the fear, but stated that he is used to such situations. He appealed to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to prevent such incidents from happening again and to ensure strict legal action against the perpetrators.
