Patna (Central) Superintendent of Police (SP) Dixit confirmed the attack and said: “Police became acquainted around 10 p.m.
Despite escaping for emergency medical treatment, Chandan died because of his injuries while living in the ICU. Police have registered a case and started a full -scale investigation. The first doubt points to the old enmity, which is the potential motif behind the Delite murder.
Sp Dixit said, “There is a manhunt running to discover and arrest weapons,” the nature of the crime suggests that it was a well -planned attack. The entrance of armed attackers to a high -security hospital area has aroused serious concerns about law and order in the state.

Independent MP from Purnea, Pappu Yadav, who tried to visit the hospital where the incident took place, was stopped by the police. In a fiery statement, he demanded the imposition of President’s Rule in Bihar. “There is no government in Bihar. Nurses, doctors, and the public — no one is safe. Criminals are being selected based on caste and encounters are fake,” Yadav alleged. “Nitish Kumar is not running the government. The BJP is calling the shots.”
Opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav also questioned the Nitish Kumar-led government’s failure to maintain security, especially in healthcare settings. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “Government criminals stormed into the ICU and shot a patient admitted to the hospital. Is anyone safe anywhere in Bihar? Has this happened before 2005?”
The shocking murder has brought back the conversation around the deteriorating law and order situation in Bihar and the growing presence of criminal elements in the state.
Meanwhile, there was heavy police presence outside the hospital, and the authorities are going through CCTV footage from the area to determine who the attackers were. Officials say they will be quick to take action, but the public fury continues to mount.
As the investigation continues, the state government is facing increasing pressure to keep public institutions safe and reign in the ever increasing boldness of criminals, who are operating in broad daylight.
