After the news of Bollywood actor Govinda accidentally shooting himself came out, the actor was questioned by Juhu Police, who explained that he was putting the revolver back in the cupboard after cleaning it when it accidentally discharged and hit his leg. Though the police have not filed any FIR in the matter, and preliminary evidence suggests no foul play, the authorities are still sceptical about Govinda`s statement and may call him again for further questioning.
News agency PTI reported that a crime branch team, led by senior police inspector Daya Nayak, visited the actor to speak to him about the incident. Meanwhile, a News 18 report suggested that a source said the officials are "not fully convinced by Govinda’s story." Even the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Dikshit Gedam of Zone 9, stated, “We have reported this incident as a misfire from a licensed revolver. No FIR has been registered at this time. We are investigating how the incident occurred.”
