The firing took place late Saturday night at Hotel Teetos on Airport Road in Jharkhand’s capital Ranchi. According to police and eyewitnesses, two bike-borne attackers arrived at the hotel and suddenly launched the assault, firing multiple rounds inside the premises.
The gunmen reportedly entered the hotel compound and fired three to four rounds in quick succession. The sudden sound of gunshots triggered panic among staff and customers inside the restaurant.
