A day after Govinda suffered a leg injury as his revolver ‘accidentally went off’, the official from the Mumbai crime branch, which has also initiated a parallel enquiry into the incident, met the actor on Wednesday.

The crime branch inquiry is taking place even as local police are probing the matter.

However, quoting sources, News18 reported that though the police have ruled out foul play, they are not fully convinced by the story.

The report also said that Govinda informed police that at the time of the incident, the revolver, which was 20-years-old, was unlocked, and it misfired when he was cleaning it.

Meanwhile, police said that no one has lodged any complaint in the matter so far.

The actor has a licensed revolver from Webley company which has been seized by police officials for further probe, PTI quoted an official as saying.

The incident took place on Tuesday at the actor's Mumbai residence when he was getting ready to leave for Kolkata by flight.

The 60-year-old actor had been operated to extract a bullet which hit him near his left knee, and is currently recuperating at a private hospital.

Actor Raveena Tandon and other celebrities also visited the actor.

"He looked better. He is recovering. I wish him a speedy recovery," Raveena shared.
