Five attackers walk into hospital room and shoot criminal Chandan Mishra dead, raising fresh concerns over Bihar’s law and order crisis
Hospital Horror: A Cold-Blooded Killing in Broad Daylight
In a chilling incident straight out of a crime thriller, five armed men casually walked into a private hospital in Patna, entered a patient’s cabin, shot him multiple times, and fled the scene — all captured on CCTV.
The victim, Chandan Mishra, a notorious gangster with multiple murder charges, was out on parole for medical treatment when the attack occurred. Despite emergency care, he later succumbed to his injuries.
Caught on Camera: Attackers Move with Chilling Ease
Footage from hospital security cameras shows the five assailants:
- Walking calmly into Paras Hospital
- Entering the patient cabin with guns drawn
- Executing the shooting and escaping within minutes
A Targeted Hit: Rival Gang Suspected
Police believe the attack was the result of a gang rivalry. Mishra, a resident of Buxar district, had been moved from Bhagalpur jail to Patna’s Paras Hospital on medical parole.
“Chandan Mishra, involved in several murder cases, was likely killed by a rival gang, possibly the Chandan Sheru gang,”
said Kartikay Sharma, SSP Patna.
Police are investigating whether hospital security personnel may have aided the attackers.
Law and Order Breakdown: Pattern of Violence Emerges
The hospital shooting is the latest in a series of violent incidents rocking Bihar’s capital. Recent victims include:
- Businessman Gopal Khemka
- BJP leader Surendra Kewat
- Lawyer Jitendra Mahato
The surge in killings has intensified scrutiny of the Nitish Kumar-led JDU-BJP government, just months ahead of state elections.
Political Backlash: Opposition Questions Government
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav slammed the government, saying:
“Government-backed criminals stormed the ICU and shot a patient. Is anyone safe anywhere in Bihar? Has this happened before 2005?”
The Opposition has seized the opportunity to corner the ruling coalition over what they call a “complete collapse of law and order.”
Government Reaction: Promises of Action
Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha condemned the attack and promised swift action:
“Such an incident is unfortunate. It will be thoroughly investigated. The Chief Minister has assured that the criminals will be caught and strictly punished.”
