Govinda details what happens during the 3 AM attack

Govinda spoke to ANI and claimed that he saw around 22 to 23 men near his home on the night of the incident. “I wondered who they were because I couldn’t hear any noise coming from a party either. They did not seem like party-goers, so I began filming them. Mumbai police did not pick up my calls, so I called top police officers in another country. I asked them to stay on the line so I wouldn’t be blamed later,” he claimed.

He then claimed that he noticed that a few men had gone to his terrace while others had spread out in a way that didn’t seem normal. Stating that he ‘informed everybody’ of what was going on, he added, “I went out with my licensed gun and asked them who they were, but they had no response. They then gestured to each other and said they were there to fix the power system. I asked them to fix it and leave, pointing my gun at them. They did not expect it because I am only nice till it threatens my life.”

When asked whether he had tried to find out who was planning an alleged attack on him, Govinda said he did not want to focus his energy on it. He also stated that as an actor, his job is to ‘focus on acting, not reacting’ to such things.

What did Govinda’s manager say about the attack

Last week, Govinda’s manager had also claimed to the news agency that the actor fended off an attack at his home with his gun. “On the day this incident happened, around 3-3:30 AM, many people had gathered. I cannot imagine what would’ve happened in bhayya (brother) had a mobile in his hand instead of a gun. I am thankful to God for this,” he said.

The manager also claimed that there was no security present at Govinda’s house when the incident took place. He also stated that he had a video of the incident and had filed an FIR with the police.
