Former Patna municipal councillor Anil Yadav is shot at in the Buddha Colony area, and police are investigating the attack. The shooting occurs at his residence while he is seated in the basement of his apartment complex, with multiple reports saying he is hit by several bullets.
According to outlets, unidentified assailants arrive—described as coming on a motorcycle in one account—and open fire, then flee. Yadav is taken to a hospital in Patna for treatment and remains under medical supervision. Residents report panic in the locality, and the incident happens in a residential building where a girls’ hostel is also located.
Police respond from the nearby station area, inspect the scene, and question witnesses. Investigators examine CCTV footage from cameras in and around the apartment complex and conduct raids at suspected hideouts as part of an ongoing manhunt. Authorities also probe possible motives and whether the attack is connected to recent violence involving Yadav’s family, including a separate incident involving his son, as some sources note.
