Initially, Yadav was taken to Udayan Hospital on Boring Road, but he was later transferred to Medanta Hospital for further medical attention. Police received information about the incident around 7:30 pm. According to police, Yadav was sitting in the basement of his apartment when three men arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire. Two bullet injuries were sustained by Yadav's legs, while another bullet struck his lower abdomen. Forensic scientists have been deployed to collect evidence from the crime scene, and CCTV footage from the area is being examined.
