Paras Hospital Murder

The murder took place on Thursday morning, when five armed assailants entered Paras Hospital, one of Patna’s largest private hospitals, and shot Chandan Mishra, a prisoner from Buxar undergoing treatment on parole. CCTV footage shows five attackers, four of them wearing caps, entering ward number 209, where Mishra was admitted. Each was armed with a pistol, and they carried out the murder swiftly upon entering.

While the attack was underway, the hospital lobby outside the ward remained silent, with no police personnel or private security visible in the vicinity.

Witnesses from adjacent wards came out upon hearing the gunshots but, terrified by the scene, retreated immediately.

After committing the crime, the assailants managed to escape easily.

The incident has raised serious questions about the security arrangements for prisoners admitted for treatment in private hospitals.

Chandan Mishra, who was a notorious criminal and an inmate of Beur Jail, was under treatment at Paras Hospital on parole.

“Where were the police personnel deployed for the security of Chandan Mishra, and why were security arrangements so lax despite the risk of a gang war?” is a question now being raised across Patna.

Patna SSP Kartikeya K Sharma has stated that police are actively pursuing the case and the criminals will be arrested soon, adding that the incident has been taken very seriously.

The attack carried out in broad daylight inside a high-profile hospital has put the Patna Police under intense scrutiny and has raised concerns about law and order in Bihar’s capital.
