The Bihar Police arrested over five suspects linked to the murder of gangster Chandan Mishra at Patna’s Paras Hospital during raids conducted in West Bengal, according to sources.
Mishra, who had multiple criminal cases against him, was out on parole for medical treatment and admitted to the hospital when five armed men entered the high-security premises and shot him dead in broad daylight.
Sources told CNN-News18 that arrested individuals are currently being questioned, and legal procedures are underway to bring them to Patna for further investigation.
While an official confirmation from police is still awaited, sources said the number of arrests may rise as raids continue in various locations.
During preliminary interrogation, police reportedly identified several shooters believed to be linked to the case. Among them are Tausif alias Badshah, Balwant, Abhishek, Mannu Singh, Nilesh, Suryamaan, and Neeshu.
Once information surfaced about the suspects hiding in West Bengal, a special team was flown in under the direct supervision of senior Bihar Police officials. The investigation into the high-profile firing case remains ongoing.
Paras Hospital Shooting
Officials said six men arrived on two motorcycles at Paras Hospital to carry out the murder.
Five of them, armed, entered the premises while one waited outside, reportedly to assist in their escape.
CCTV footage captured the group assembling in a nearby lane before the attack. The man positioned outside wore a helmet and stayed near the motorcycles.
The shooters were initially stopped at the hospital’s emergency gate for not having entry passes, but later entered through the OPD section.
