One person has been arrested in connection with the Bihar hospital murder case, where five armed men entered Paras Hospital and fatally shot a patient who was receiving treatment.

According to the police, the arrested accused has been identified as Tausif. The police have identified all the accused. Raids are being carried out at several locations to arrest the remaining accused, NDTV reported.

The deceased was identified as Chandan Mishra, who was out on parole and was undergoing treatment at Paras HMRI hospital. CCTV cameras at the hospital showed the gangsters pulling out their guns, loading the weapons, opening the cabin’s door and then escaping. 

Mishra had a criminal record with several murder cases against him. Police believe that a rival gang is behind the chilling attack.

Commenting on the incident, Patna SSP Kartikeya K Sharma said, “A criminal, named Chandan Mishra, a resident of Buxar district, against whom dozens of cases of murder are registered, was transferred from Buxar to Bhagalpur jail. Chandan was on parole and admitted to Paras Hospital for treatment. The rival gang shot him."

Recent weeks have seen a string of murders in Bihar, claiming the lives of businessman Gopal Khemka, BJP leader Surendra Kewat, and lawyer Jitendra Mahato. With state polls approaching, the law and order situation has sparked heated debates between the Opposition RJD and the ruling JDU-BJP coalition.

Recent weeks have seen a string of murders in Bihar, claiming the lives of businessman Gopal Khemka, BJP leader Surendra Kewat, and lawyer Jitendra Mahato. With state polls approaching, the deteriorating law and order situation has sparked heated debates between the Opposition RJD and the ruling JDU-BJP coalition.

Union Minister and NDA ally Chirag Paswan targeted the Nitish Kumar-led BJP-JDU government on Thursday over the killing of a criminal in a Patna hospital, saying that Bihar’s law and order situation has become a cause for concern.

In a post on X, Paswan said, “Murders are happening every day. The morale of criminals is sky-high. The strategy of the police and administration is beyond comprehension. The attack inside Paras hospital in Patna’s residential neighbourhood proves that criminals are openly challenging the law and administration."

He said that the criminal incidents right before the Bihar Assembly polls are worrying. “Hopefully, the administration will soon take firm steps to bring the law and order system back on track," the Union Minister added.
