According to eyewitnesses, two assailants on a motorcycle approached Thakur Hotel, where Anil Tiger was sitting, and shot him in the head.

The incident has raised concerns about law and order in the state, with opposition parties criticizing the Jharkhand government’s handling of security matters.
Ranchi BJP MLA CP Singh condemned the state government, saying, “Law and order in Jharkhand is in complete disarray. How long will the state continue to echo with the sound of bullets?” His sentiments were echoed by BJP MLA Roshan Lal Choudhary, who also criticized the government’s failure to maintain safety in the region. “This incident happened within a 2 km radius of the Chief Minister’s residence, which is highly condemnable.
