Kanhaiya Singh, brother-in-law of former MLA Arvind Kumar Singh, was about to enter his flat on the third floor of a residential building at around 9.30 on Wednesday when he was shot dead, he said. Neighbors came out on hearing the gunshots and took Singh to Tata Main Hospital in Jamshedpur, but doctors there declared him brought dead.

According to Adityapur police station in-charge officer Rajan Kumar, the victim’s driver told the police that he had seen three people, all with their faces covered.
