According to the police, the attackers attempted to rob a youth, named Rahul, at gunpoint. The victim handed over his belongings. A shot was also fired, but Rahul escaped unhurt.

Patna City (Central) SP Diksha confirmed the incident and said that the Police have recovered a bullet shell from the spot and are reviewing CCTV footage to identify the suspects. Raids are going on to arrest them.

The incident, which took place a day before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit, has once again brought attention to the fragile state of law and order in Bihar.
