This incident happened with actor Govinda at his residence in Juhu, Mumbai. The actor was leaving for Kolkata from Mumbai at around 4:45 in the morning. He was going to participate in a show. He was keeping the revolver when suddenly it slipped from his hand and there was a misfire. The bullet hit the actor's left leg near the knee. Govinda was immediately taken to the hospital. During treatment, the bullet was removed from his leg.

After four days of hospitalisation, he finally left for his house on October 4. After Govinda was discharged, Sunita Ahuja told reporters that the doctors had advised the actor to rest for at least six weeks. Apart from that, the doctors have forbidden him from meeting too many people, which can increase the risk of infection. He was advised to complete bed rest.
