A video showing a man firing shots from a moving motorcycle near Boring Road Chauraha in Patna has gone viral on social media, sparking public outrage and calls for action.
In the video, two men are seen riding a Bullet motorcycle and the pillion rider is captured firing two rounds from a pistol while the bike is moving in a busy market area.
Sources said that the same duo on the Bullet motorcycle may have been involved in similar firing incidents in other areas, including JP Ganga Path.
CNN-News18 could not independently verify the authenticity of the video.

Sources told CNN-News18 that the video is from the morning of May 24, the same day when another shooting incident occurred in the evening on Boring Canal Road.
In that separate incident, unidentified assailants in a Scorpio SUV allegedly fired eight rounds, allegedly over a parking dispute. No one was injured in the incident.
Patna SSP Avakash Kumar told media that six police personnel have been suspended in connection with the incident for dereliction of duty.
'Unidentified miscreants in an SUV fired several rounds in the air at the Boring Canal Road area. Incidentally, Additional ADG (Law and Order) Pankaj Darad was also present near the spot as he was returning from a meeting," he said.
While authorities have yet to issue an official statement or verify the video that went viral today, the footage has raised serious concerns about the deteriorating law and order situation in Patna, with citizens questioning public safety.
Another user called the incident 'scary" and noted that Boring Road Crossing is one of the most upscale areas of Patna. 'This is scary. Boring Road Crossing is the most posh area of Patna," the user wrote.
