Rajiv's younger brother Sanjiv Singh was critically injured in the incident that took place in the New Sabajpura locality under Phulwari Sharif police station on Tuesday night at 10 p.m.
Manish Kumar, the SDPO of Phulwari Sharif, said: "Four assailants came on two bikes to the house of Rajiv Singh. The deceased was inside his house and interacting with his family members. The assailants opened fire on him indiscriminately."
