Police Probing Security Lapse Angle In Chandan Mishra Murder

On the other side, police, a day after a murder convict, out on parole for medical reasons, said it was looking into any "complicity" that may have led to the security lapse.

The Superintendent of Police (SP) of Patna (central), Diksha, said, "The killing of convicted gangster Chandan Mishra on the second floor inside the hospital is certainly a matter of serious concern. This raises serious questions over the security arrangements at the hospital."

Five unmasked armed assailants reached the second floor, opened fire on Mishra, and fled the premises without any check. Investigators are certainly looking into any complicity that may have led to the security lapse," the police officer said.
