What Had Happened?

Govinda was hospitalised on October 1 after his licensed revolver accidentally discharged, injuring his leg. Reportedly, the actor was putting the gun back in its case when a bullet struck him. He was scheduled to attend an event in Kolkata. Admitted to the hospital at 5 AM, doctors successfully removed the bullet by 6 AM. The Mumbai crime branch has determined that there was no foul play involved. Govinda has now been advised to take six weeks of bed rest for a complete recovery.
