Bollywood actor and Shiv Sena leader Govinda is currently under investigation after accidentally shooting himself with his licensed revolver. The Mumbai police seized the revolver and launched an inquiry into the incident. Govinda, admitted to CritiCare Hospital, provided a statement to officials, but the Crime Branch remains skeptical about his timeline of events.
According to reports, Govinda claimed he was cleaning the 20-year-old gun when it misfired, stating he was alone at his residence during the early hours of October 1. However, police sources indicate preliminary evidence suggests no foul play, but they doubt Govinda's statement. The actor may be called for further questioning soon.
A crime branch team, led by senior police inspector Daya Nayak, visited Govinda in the hospital to discuss the incident. No complaint has been filed, and police are not fully convinced by Govinda's story. Additionally, his daughter Tina Ahuja has been interrogated, and her statement has been documented.
Govinda's manager confirmed the incident, stating the actor was preparing to leave for Kolkata when the revolver fell, firing a bullet that hit his leg. The doctor removed the bullet, and Govinda's condition is stable. The actor later shared an update, thanking well-wishers and assuring fans he's recovering well after the accidental injury.
