Police had reached the spot and an investigation was underway, PTI news agency reported officials as saying.

Tejashwi Yadav posted on X over the incident and said, “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.”

The incident comes ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit on June 20 to poll-bound Bihar.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that he is coming to attend the "National Daamad Aayog" (NDA) meeting.

The former Bihar deputy chief minister said that PM Modi is not coming to distribute employment, end poverty, or stop migration, but to "cheat" the people of Bihar once again.

Tejashwi Yadav's 1 Polo Road bungalow was in news in last October last year as well when he faced allegations of replacing new air conditioners (ACs) with old ones while vacating his previous official residence at 5 Deshratna Marg.
