Patna police shot dead three alleged criminals during an encounter; their bodies sparked a protest by relatives at the hospital, prompting police to use force as MP Misa Bharti arrived.
Patna police reported that three alleged criminals were neutralised in a gun‑battle on the city’s outskirts, describing the incident as an encounter that left the suspects dead. The bodies were subsequently taken to a local hospital for identification and formal procedures.
As soon as the corpses arrived, a group of relatives gathered outside the emergency ward, demanding answers and expressing anger over the police action. The crowd grew increasingly agitated, shouting slogans and attempting to breach the hospital premises.
Police personnel on duty resorted to physical force to disperse the protesters, using batons and pepper spray to restore order. The confrontation continued for several minutes before the situation was brought under control.
During the unrest, Rajya Dal MP Misa Bharti, who is also the daughter of senior leader Jitan Ram Manjhi, arrived at the hospital to meet the families. She called for a calm and promised to seek clarification from the authorities. In the aftermath, JP Yadav’s brother lodged a serious allegation against the police, though details of the claim were not disclosed at the time.
