In a shocking development following the recent murder inside a Patna hospital, five police personnel have been suspended for dereliction of duty. The suspension comes after widespread public outrage and mounting pressure on law enforcement to explain how such a gruesome crime could take place in a high-security medical facility.
The incident occurred earlier this week at the Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH), where a man was reportedly shot dead by unidentified assailants. Initial investigations suggest serious lapses in security arrangements and police presence at the scene, leading to the swift disciplinary action.
Senior police officials confirmed that the suspended officers failed to maintain proper surveillance and did not respond effectively when the crime occurred. An internal probe has been launched to examine the sequence of events and pinpoint further accountability.
The murder has raised serious questions about safety in public hospitals and the state of policing in Bihar. Political leaders, civil society groups, and citizens alike have condemned the incident, demanding stronger security protocols and a thorough investigation.

Authorities have assured the public that the culprits will be brought to justice and that stringent steps are being taken to prevent such incidents in the future. Meanwhile, the hospital has tightened its security, and additional forces have been deployed as a precaution.
This disturbing case has once again highlighted the urgent need for police reform and improved public safety infrastructure in critical institutions across the country.
