Hospitalized Murder Convict, Granted Parole, Fatally Shot in Patna Medical Facility
In an unexpected turn of events, Chandan Mishra, a murder convict on parole, was shot dead inside a private hospital in Patna, Bihar, on July 17, 2025. The police suspect this could be the result of a gang war or an old rivalry.
According to the Patna Central SP, Diksha, a case has been registered, and an investigation is currently underway. Preliminary investigations suggest that Mishra, who had more than a dozen cases against him and was a notorious criminal, was the target of a rival gang [1][3].
The shooting, which occurred at approximately 7:30 AM, has raised concerns about law and order in Bihar. While specific criticisms from political figures regarding this incident are not detailed in the available reports, such violent crimes often draw attention to the state's law and order situation [4].
The brazen nature of the attack, occurring in a hospital with minimal resistance, has also raised alarms about the impunity of such actions and the potential involvement of hospital security in facilitating the crime [3]. As of now, no arrests have been made, although some individuals have been detained for questioning [1].
In an unrelated incident on the same day, a man named Shubham alias Bunty was killed outside his home in Patna's Shahpur locality. The identity of the attackers in Shubham's case remains unknown [2].
Political figures have criticized the incident, expressing concerns about law and order in Bihar. Opposition leaders like Tejashwi Yadav and independent MP Pappu Yadav have condemned the shooting, questioning the effectiveness of the current government in maintaining security [1].
The deceased, Chandan Mishra, was a resident of Buxar district. The body of Shubham has been sent for a post-mortem examination. A manhunt has been launched to identify the suspects involved in the shooting of Chandan Mishra.
