Patna: Gangster Chandan Mishra was shot dead by five armed men at Paras Hospital in Patna on Thursday while he was admitted to the ICU, police said.<\/p>\n
Mishra, who was currently on parole, sustained multiple bullet injuries and died during treatment.<\/p>\n
The attackers entered the hospital with ease, went to Mishra\u2019s cabin, opened fire, and fled within minutes, police said. CCTV footage of the incident has raised concerns over the deteriorating law and order situation in Bihar and the safety of citizens.<\/p>\n
Mishra, a resident of Buxar district, was facing several criminal cases. Senior Superintendent of Police Kartikey Sharma said the initial investigation points towards the involvement of the Chandan Sheru gang.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working closely with the Buxar police to identify and track down the attackers,\u201d Sharma said, adding that police are also investigating possible involvement of hospital staff or security personnel in the attack.<\/p>\n
The broad daylight killing inside a private hospital has triggered public outrage, with many criticising the state government\u2019s handling of crime. In recent weeks, Patna has witnessed several high-profile murders, including those of businessman Gopal Khemka, BJP leader Surendra Kewat, and lawyer Jitendra Mahto.<\/p>\n
Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav said, \u201cArmed men entered the ICU and shot a patient. Is anyone safe anywhere in Bihar today? This was not the case before 2005.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha termed the incident as \u201cvery unfortunate\u201d and assured immediate action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
