Thursday, July 17, 2025 - Unidentified armed assailants stormed the intensive care unit (ICU) of Paras Hospital in Bihar's Patna, India, and shot a prisoner.
CCTV footage
now confirms that five attackers entered the ICU this morning, Thursday,
July 17, 2025, and opened fire on the inmate, identified as Chandan
Mishra.
23-year-old
Chandan Mishra, a notorious criminal with dozens of murd£r charges against him,
was out on parole for medical reasons and had been admitted to Paras
Hospital.
Despite being
under medical care, he became the target of a brazen attack.
CCTV footage
released by police shows five men, with guns hidden, walking down the hospital
corridor before the man leading the group reaches into his jeans to bring out a
gun. The other men behind him also bring out their guns as the man leading
opens the door to the room the sick criminal is in.
The men are
then seen firing shots at the victim after which they exit the room one after
the other and flee the way they came.
Others in the
hospital can be seen opening their doors to find out what was going on as the
gunmen fled after the attack.
It is not
clear why Chandan Mishra, who had been sentenced to life imprisonment, was
attacked but there are suspicions it may be linked to gang wars. Earlier, while
in Bhagalpur jail, he had a dispute with a criminal named Sheru.
According to
Patna SSP Kartikay Sharma, preliminary investigation suggests the attack was
carried out by members of a rival gang, believed to be the Chandan Sheru
gang.
“Chandan was
earlier transferred from Buxar to Bhagalpur jail and was temporarily released
for treatment. We suspect the rival gang is behind this targeted shooting,” he
said.
Police are
now working with Buxar authorities to identify the attackers, whose photographs
have been captured on hospital CCTV.
Police
initially said Chandan Mishra was undergoing treatment following the
attack.
However, he later succumbed to his injuries.
