Kangana
Ranaut
claimed
to
have
heard
two
bullet
sounds
near
her
residence
in
Manali
on
the
night
of
July
31,
2020.
The
actress
feels
this
may
have
been
a
ploy
to
intimidate
her
for
picking
bones
with
many
in
Bollywood
and
the
politics,
following
her
claims
about
Sushant
Singh
Rajput's
mysterious
death
on
June
14,
2020.
The
police
in
Manali,
on
the
other
hand,
believe
it
to
be
a
'case
of
stray
noise'.
The
local
cops
in
the
hill
town
haven't
found
any
concrete
evidence
in
preliminary
investigations,
but
have
deployed
a
team
at
Kangana
Ranaut's
residence
nevertheless.
They
will
continue
to
investigate
the
matter
further.
Three
police
constables
have
been
deployed
at
Kangana
Ranaut's
residence
at
Manali
overnight,
and
a
probe
into
the
matter
has
been
launched.
Kangana
Heard
A
Cracker-Like
Sound,
Then
Felt
It
Was
A
Gunshot
Speaking
to
The
Times
of
India,
Kangana
Ranaut
said
she
heard
a
cracker-like
sound
first
at
around
11:30
pm,
and
the
second
one
sounded
more
like
a
gunshot.
When
she
enquired
with
her
security
about
the
matter,
he
was
of
the
opinion
that
it
must
be
children
playing
with
crackers.
But
Kangana
thought
that
he
must
have
never
heard
a
bullet
sound
and
so
he
wouldn't
know.
She
further
claimed
that
the
five
people
who
were
with
her
felt
that
indeed
it
was
a
bullet
sound
and
so
they
called
the
police.
It
Was
Right
Opposite
Her
Room
"I
have
heard
the
sound
of
a
bullet
and
I
think
it
was
definitely
a
bullet,
very
intently
fired
twice,
two
shots
with
a
gap
of
about
eight
seconds
between
them.
And
it
was
right
opposite
my
room.
So
it
seems
like
someone
was
behind
the
boundary
walls,
there's
a
jungle
and
a
water
body
there," she
told
TOI.
Police:
No
Chemical
Trace,
Bullet
Empties
Or
Cartridges
Found
Gaurav
Singh,
the
Superintendent
of
Police,
Kullu,
told
TOI,
"A
team
headed
by
a
DSP
rank
officer
was
rushed
to
the
spot
immediately.
Nothing
concrete
came
out
as,
prima
facie,
it
appears
to
be
a
case
of
stray
noise
created
by
landlords
or
farm
keepers,
who
are
on
night
vigil
to
protect
their
orchards
and
farms
from
wild
animals.
The
area
has
a
lot
of
farms.
Also,
forensic
experts
were
with
the
team,
but
no
chemical
trace,
bullet
empties
or
cartridges
were
recovered."
Kangana's
Reasoning
Kangana
continued,
"I
do
feel
that,
you
know,
because
I
have
made
a
political
comment
on
people
who
are
known
for
their
goondagardi.
So,
this
may
have
been
a
small-time
alarming
call
for
me
that
okay,
you
know,
don't
talk
like
that
about
us
or
something
like
that...
to
me
seems
like
that,
because
such
an
activity
has
never
happened
here
before.
And
I
have
witnesses
who
have
also
heard
it
along
with
me."
Kangana
Ranaut
added,
"I
think
some
local
people
may
have
been
hired
to
come
near
my
place,
you
know,
it
is
not
difficult
to
pay
someone
seven-eight
thousand
rupees
here
and
assign
them
something
like
this.
To
do
this
to
make
a
statement
on
the
day
I
called
out
the
chief
minister's
son
-
I
don't
think
it
was
a
coincidence.
People
are
telling
me
that
they
will
now
make
your
life
miserable
in
Mumbai.
Well,
I
don't
have
to
be
in
Mumbai,
they
are
doing
it
here
also.
Is
there
open
goondagardi
in
this
country?
This
is
how
Sushant
must
have
been
frightened.
But
I
will
continue
to
ask
questions."
Kangana
Ranaut
has
been
staying
in
her
new
Manali
home
since
the
March
2020
lockdown
amid
the
Novel
Coronavirus
pandemic.
