Patna hospital murder case: Main accused among 4 arrested in Kolkata
The four shown as arrested on Sunday by Patna Police include one of the prime accused, Tauseef a.k.a. Badshah, his associate Nishu Khan, and two others.
Ten people were detained from two different places in Kolkata, namely New Town in the northern outskirts of Kolkata and Anandapur in the southern outskirts of the city, on Saturday, following joint operations by Patna Police and the sleuths of the Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata Police.
The detained persons were taken to Patna on Saturday night.
Sources from Kolkata Police said that the murder of Chandan Kumar alias Chandan Mishra was a result of his rivalry with another Bihar-based gangster, Sheroo, who is presently lodged in a correctional home in West Bengal's Purulia district.
It is suspected that Sheroo had masterminded the murder from the Purulia prison and hired Tauseef alias Badshah and his team as contract killers for the murder.
As per information accessed by the investigators so far, the ten detained people from Kolkata were directly involved in the murder of Chandan Kumar alias Chandan Mishra, a murder convict who was out on medical parole.
Mishra was shot dead by five armed assailants inside the ICU of a private hospital in Patna on July 17.
He was lodged at Beur Jail in Patna and had gone to the hospital for treatment on parole. At least 24 cases were pending against Mishra in several police stations of the Buxar district in Bihar. He was serving a sentence in one of those cases. According to the police, Mishra was killed a day before he was scheduled to be released from the hospital.

Dehradun defence coaching institute accused of making student do 400 sit-ups for ‘talking in class'
An 18-year-old was allegedly made to do 400 sit-ups at a Dehradun-based coaching institute for 'talking in the class'. According to the police, an FIR has been registered against the institute's mathematics teacher, Jai Singh, who made the student do 400 sit-ups on July 4. The student, a Meghalaya native, was preparing for defence entrance exams at the centre. In an FIR on the back of a complaint by the students' parents on July 14, it is claimed that the boy was unable to walk due to severe pain and swelling in his legs. The complaint, addressed to Laban police station in Shillong on July 14, was registered as an FIR at Vasant Vihar police station in Dehradun on July 21. 'Battling with pain, he somehow managed to attend the classes on July 7 and 8, but started experiencing tremendous pain, cramps, and spasms and had to be taken to an orthopaedic surgeon by his PG owner. Our son refrained from informing us initially to avoid giving us pain and anxiety, until his condition worsened and he had to be taken to the doctor for treatment,' the complaint said. They had emailed twice to demand action against the faculty member, the FIR said. 'They acknowledged that the said incident occurred in the institution and that they have been made aware that one of their teachers behaved unacceptably towards our child, resulting in physical harm and further assured that strict action would be taken against the said person,' the complaint said, adding that as no action was taken against him. 'My son has since then missed all his classes and has been suffering physically, mentally and emotionally. The incident has traumatised us and has caused much distress to us,' it said. The complainant goes on to state that the victim was asked to go to the institute for verification of documents, the complaint alleges. 'It is not clear what verification they were talking about since all formalities were already completed in April during the time of his admission. They also issued a message to my son asking him to resume his classes from tomorrow (July 15) since he had not informed them of his absence in advance despite knowing his condition,' it said. Pradeep Singh Rawat, the in-charge of the police station, said that after the FIR was registered in Meghalaya, it was transferred to Dehradun under section 117(2) BNS. 'We have started the probe and examined the crime scene, the classroom. The victim's and his father's statements have been recorded. The allegations are true prima facie,' he said.
