As per the preliminary probe, two bike-borne assailants allegedly opened fire at a youth named Rahul with the intent to loot him. Fortunately, the youth escaped unhurt.
The attackers fled the scene after the firing. Police have recovered a bullet shell from the spot and have launched a manhunt for the suspects.
“At around 8:15 am, under the jurisdiction of the Airport police station, a case of snatching was reported involving a young man. Items worth Rs 400 were taken from him, but his phone and other belongings were not stolen. The assailants, who were riding an Apache bike, pushed and shoved him, causing him to fall. During the scuffle, a shot was also fired, but fortunately, no one was injured. There is a slum area nearby, and an investigation is currently underway,” City SP, Diksha, said as quoted by India TV.
Meanwhile, the RJD leader slammed the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government over the incident.
He further said that the morale of state-protected criminals has risen so high that they are openly firing in high-security zones — just a short distance away from the Raj Bhavan (Governor’s residence), the Chief Minister’s residence, the Leader of Opposition’s residence, judges’ residences, and the airport.
“Today a bullet was fired outside my residence. In the demonic rule of NDA, the morale of the criminals protected by the government is so high that in the high security zone, at a short distance from the Governor’s residence Raj Bhawan, Chief Minister’s residence, Leader of the Opposition’s residence, Judge’s residence and the airport, the dreaded criminals are roaming around openly firing. Beware! What if someone calls it Jungle Raj? Anyway, the Prime Minister is coming to Bihar tomorrow, so the Godi media has to maintain a positive image,” he said in a post on X.

The morale of power protected criminals has increased so much in the NDA’s demon rule that the criminal is a short distance in the High Security Zone where the Governor Housing Raj Bhavan, the Chief Minister’s residence, the Leader of Opposition, Housing and the airport are there.
