A recent high-profile murder in Patna has thrown light on a name that’s stirring conversation across Bihar—Tauseef Badshah. Accused of orchestrating the killing of gangster Chandan Mishra inside a hospital, Tauseef is now being called the ‘bekhauf shikari’ (fearless hunter) by locals and police alike. His criminal trail, influence, and the daylight hospital killing have raised serious questions about law and order in the city.
Here’s what’s known so far.
Murder Inside Patna’s Heart
Chandan Mishra, a well-known local gangster with multiple cases against him, was shot dead inside a private hospital in Patna. The incident took place while he was being treated, catching hospital staff and security off guard. The attackers, dressed in plain clothes, entered posing as visitors, fired shots, and fled without resistance.
Police later identified Tauseef Badshah as the main suspect behind the operation.
Who is Tauseef Badshah?
Tauseef is no ordinary criminal, say officials. He’s known for maintaining a low profile while commanding significant control over certain local gangs. Originally from the Patna region, he has been linked to past cases involving extortion, land disputes, and violent confrontations.
What sets him apart, according to sources, is his ability to plan high-risk operations like Mishra’s killing—executed swiftly in a location assumed to be safe. Some officers describe him as “cold, calculated, and fearless.”
A Gang War Brewing?
Police are not ruling out the possibility that this murder is part of a larger turf war between rival gangs in Bihar. With Chandan Mishra’s killing, power dynamics could shift, especially in areas where he held influence. Investigators are examining phone records and surveillance footage to understand whether this was a personal vendetta or a contract hit backed by a bigger syndicate.
Locals fear that such high-profile killings may set off a cycle of retaliation.
Security Lapses in Hospitals
The killing inside a medical facility has left citizens angry and concerned. Hospitals are considered neutral grounds—even criminals are usually safe while admitted. This breach has triggered calls for increased security at private and government hospitals across Tier 2 cities like Patna, where gang activity still simmers under the surface.
Officials admitted that existing security measures were not strong enough to stop a determined criminal unit.
Conclusion
The murder of Chandan Mishra has once again exposed the fragile balance between crime and control in Bihar’s capital. As the manhunt for Tauseef Badshah intensifies, the bigger worry remains: how deeply is organized crime rooted in cities like Patna? For now, the focus is on capturing the man police call both fearless and dangerous—before the cycle of violence escalates any further.
