Patna, Bihar: The murder of dreaded gangster Chandan Mishra inside a hospital has rocked Bihar, sparking debates on prison security, political influence, and gang wars ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. But what’s even more disturbing is the chilling revelation that Chandan Mishra’s own decision to stay an extra day in the hospital may have cost him his life.
According to investigative reports, Chandan was on parole for medical treatment. He was admitted to Patna’s renowned Paras Hospital for a minor condition — hemorrhoids. On July 15, he was admitted, and by July 16, doctors had already cleared him for discharge. However, Chandan insisted on staying one more day — a move that, tragically, gave his enemies just enough time to execute a fatal plan.
The Fatal Decision That Invited DeathSources close to the investigation have confirmed that Mishra was adamant about extending his hospital stay until July 17, even though there was no medical necessity for it. Doctors reportedly advised him to leave on July 16, but he refused, asking for one more day of rest at the facility.
That single day proved to be deadly.
On the morning of July 17, a group of five armed assailants, allegedly hired by rival gang leaders Sheru Singh and Tauseef alias Badshah, entered the hospital armed with 9mm pistols. The entire incident was captured on CCTV footage. The shooters stormed into the hospital room where Chandan was being treated and shot him multiple times, killing him on the spot.
No Police Presence Outside His RoomPerhaps the most shocking aspect of the incident was the absence of any police guard outside his room — despite the fact that Chandan Mishra was a known criminal with multiple murder charges against him. How did five armed men walk into a high-security hospital and assassinate a notorious gangster without any resistance?
The video footage shows the shooters confidently approaching the hospital room, entering with weapons drawn, and leaving moments later after executing their target.
A History of Crime: Who Was Chandan Mishra?Chandan Mishra, a native of Buxar, Bihar, was no stranger to violence. He had 12 murder charges against him and was named in over 24 criminal cases, ranging from extortion to kidnapping and organized crime. He had recently been transferred from Buxar to Bhagalpur Central Jail, but following complaints of deteriorating health, he was granted medical parole.
Ironically, that very parole became the opportunity his enemies needed.
Two Separate FIRs Filed in the Murder CasePolice have registered two separate FIRs related to his murder. Investigations are ongoing, and authorities are now trying to track down the shooters, who managed to flee the scene after carrying out the assassination. Initial suspicion strongly points toward rival gang factions trying to eliminate Chandan before he could regain influence.
This incident has put the Bihar administration under heavy scrutiny, especially with state elections approaching. Critics are questioning the lapses in law enforcement, particularly in securing high-risk inmates during medical treatments.
Could Chandan Have Been Saved?This case now serves as a grim reminder of how one wrong decision can change the course of life — or end it. Had Chandan Mishra followed his doctors’ advice and left the hospital on time, he might have avoided the trap laid for him.
Unfortunately, his insistence on staying another day handed his enemies the perfect opportunity — and he walked straight into it.
Conclusion:
The brutal killing of gangster Chandan Mishra inside a hospital room is more than just another chapter in Bihar’s long history of gang violence. It reflects the cracks in the state’s criminal justice system and the thin line between life and death in the underworld. With the political atmosphere heating up in the state, this murder has added yet another layer of tension to an already volatile environment.
