The record
Written from the 2 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Anil Yadav, a leader of the Jan Suraaj political group, was shot five times at his apartment in Patna's Buddha Colony area and is critically injured, according to both available reports.
- The attack was carried out by three masked assailants, though how they entered or escaped is not detailed.
- Because the target is a political figure in Bihar's capital, the shooting immediately raises questions about the safety of politicians in the state.
- The two Aaj Tak accounts are neutral and consistent on the basic facts, so there is no contested narrative yet — but also no confirmed motive.
- It is not known whether the attack was politically motivated, personal, or criminal, and no suspect has been named.
- Yadav's condition over the coming days and any police breakthroughs will shape how the story develops.
What to watch next
- Police manhunt for three masked shooters; first arrest is key signal
- Motive determination: political versus personal or criminal
- Jan Suraaj statements and any Bihar political fallout
- Updates on Yadav's medical condition
