Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], September 20 (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said the shooter arrested in connection with a firing incident at actor Disha Patani's house in Bareilly to 'Maareech.'

Addressing a gathering in Lucknow, CM Yogi said, 'You may have seen yesterday that a criminal involved in crimes against women had come from outside the state. He entered like a Maareech, but when the bullets of the local police pierced his body, he was shouting, 'I have entered the border of Uttar Pradesh by mistake. I will not dare to do this again' and every criminal who breaches women's safety, hinders their dignity and self-reliance, will have to do this. This same challenge of danger will always be faced by them.'
