Patna, Jul 21 (PTI) The four people, who were arrested in Kolkata in connection with the murder of gangster Chandan Mishra inside a private hospital in Patna, were brought here on transit remand, police said on Monday.
The Bihar Police, in a joint operation with Kolkata Police and Kolkata Special Task Force (STF), arrested Tauseef, the prime accused, his cousin Nishu Khan and their two associates Harsh and Bhim on Saturday.
“All four arrested have been brought here from Kolkata on transit remand. Formalities are being completed to produce them before a court here to seek their police remand,” Patna SSP Kartikeya K Sharma told PTI.
Chandan Mishra, a resident of Buxar district who was a murder convict and out on parole, was shot dead by gunmen inside a private hospital in Patna on July 17 morning.
A purported CCTV footage of the incident, which went viral on social media, showed five armed men entering the ICU of the hospital and opening fire at Mishra.
According to the police, Tauseef was identified in CCTV footage.
“The remaining four shooters have also been identified but are absconding. A search is underway to arrest them,” the SSP said, declining to divulge their identity.
Tauseef was wanted by the police in several criminal cases, and also booked in the Arms Act and the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Nishu was also wanted by the police in cases related to the Arms Act, the police said. PTI PKD BDC
