The Full Story of the Shootout: Complete Reconnaissance Inside the Hospital
Police investigation also revealed that the murder conspiracy had been planned well in advance. The main conspirator is Tausif Badshah, already imprisoned for multiple criminal cases.

He leveraged this knowledge to orchestrate the murder.
Shooters Enter Through OPD to Murder in Room 209
On the day of the murder, six criminals arrived on two motorcycles at the hospital. When they couldn't get a gate pass at the emergency entrance, they entered through the OPD. The shooters moved directly to room number 209, where Chandan Mishra was admitted. Sources say a malfunctioning lock allowed the shooters to open the door and unleash a torrent of bullets on Chandan Mishra.
