Bihar Police on Saturday said that it has arrested two more persons in connection with the murder of gangster Chandan Mishra inside a private hospital here last month.

According to the police, the arrested have been identified as Vijaykant Pandey, alias Rudra Pandey, and Rajesh Yadav, both residents of Buxar district.

Police have also recovered 190 grams of heroin from a location in Patna based on revelations made by Yadav.

Pandey was one of the five shooters involved in Mishra’s killing, police added.

“Out of the five shooters, four have been arrested. One is still absconding and he will be nabbed by police soon," news agency PTI quoted Patna Senior Superintendent of Police Kartikeya K Sharma as saying.

Murder convict Mishra, who was on parole, was gunned down by five assailants inside a private hospital here on July 17.

A purported CCTV video of the incident, which went viral on social media, showed five armed men storming the hospital’s ICU and firing at Mishra, killing him instantly.

So far, police have arrested four shooters — Tauseef, alias Badshah, Balwant Kumar, Raviranjan Kumar Singh and Vijaykant Pandey.

In addition, several associates of the prime accused have also been taken into custody. These include Harsh, Bhim, Nishu Khan, Abhisekh Kumar, and Rajesh Yadav.

The SSP said investigations found that Rajesh had supplied the weapons to the prime accused, which were then used in the crime.
