High-Security Scare in Patna: Gunmen Open Fire Ahead of PM Modi's Visit

Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bihar visit, two gunmen opened fire in Patna's high-security zone. Although no injuries occurred, the incident drew sharp criticism from opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav, who accused the government of shielding criminals. A police investigation is underway to apprehend the suspects.

Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Bihar, a high-security alert was raised in Patna as gunmen on motorcycles fired shots in a sensitive area on Thursday. The incident occurred near the residences of several prominent political figures and state bureaucrats, law enforcement agencies reported.

Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the incident fueled criticism from opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav, who accused the ruling NDA government of complacency towards crime. According to police, a team from the Airport Police Station quickly responded to find a spent cartridge and is now pursuing leads to catch the culprits.

As police continue their investigation, Yadav took to social media to criticize the current administration's inability to curb criminal activities, questioning their claim to maintain order as PM Modi prepares for his visit. Authorities insist that efforts are being made to ensure high security for the pending visit.
