Veteran Bollywood actor Govinda’s accidental self-shooting incident has taken a new turn after he provided his first police statement.
Local media reported that the police remain skeptical of his initial account regarding the self-inflicted leg injury. The incident occurred at Govinda’s residence in Juhu, Mumbai, while he was cleaning his licensed revolver, which he claims misfired because it was unlocked.

Despite ruling out foul play in the preliminary investigation, sources say the police are unconvinced by his explanation, leading to the possibility of further questioning. Govinda’s daughter, Tina Ahuja, has also been questioned by authorities.
The shooting incident happened just before Govinda was set to leave for an event in Kolkata. His weapon allegedly slipped from his hands, resulting in a bullet grazing his leg below the knee. After receiving approximately ten stitches at Criti Care Hospital in Mumbai, the doctor indicated that he would likely be discharged in a couple of days. In a video message, Govinda expressed gratitude to his fans and the doctor for their support during his recovery.
