A bullet hit Yadav in his shoulder from close range. He has been admitted to the Baba Raghav Das Medical College. His condition is stable.
The police guards at his residence suspect it to a bullet fired from his service pistol.
“He was sitting in the verandah when we heard the gun shot. We rushed inside to find him lying on the ground. His personal guard was also there. We suspect that either Yadav or his guard was cleaning the pistol when it went off accidentally,” one of the guards said.
